Can we be satisfied with less than perfection? In one sense, no: to be satisfied with imperfection can mean that we cease striving and lose sight of the goal altogether. But yes: perfection can mean we expect something God has not promised in this life.
โIf I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.โ - C.S. Lewis
The thief on the cross might be my favorite salvation story in the whole Bible.
ยท Never fasted
ยท Never baptized
ยท Never took communion
ยท Never recognized a Pope
ยท Never prayed the the rosary
ยท Never performed any works
That man was saved by faith alone.
We canโt choose whether or not we will suffer. But we can choose whether or not we will suffer with God.
If you struggle with why God is letting you walk through suffering, remember this: If we were not brought into trial after trial after trial, we would fall ever more deeply in love with the ease, comfort, prosperity, and delights of our lives, and we would forget God.
