Perfection/Perseverance

“It is not perfection that leads us to God; it is perseverance.”  Joan Chittister

I read this and immediately thought of Matthew 5:48:  “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”  Of course, the aspiration for perfection in life is just that, an aspiration.  Luckily, when I persevere, God fills in the gaps, the imperfections, with His grace and forgiveness.
