Someday this world will be set free from misery and then and only then will all of mankind see that far above the stars and wars that leave their scars lives One who sees the pain and watches from afar, who holds the precious key- to the perfection meant for you and me - Revelation 21:3-5 *As a follow up to my last post, this poem and photo contrasts the vast difference between how the world views perfection and what our Creator is offering

Indeed...then and only then, on the other side, will we reach 'perfection'. Until then...why are we still here? Change is still going on, for we are not 'done' yet! , Thank you! Love, Blessings and Faith...

The only perfection that wouldn't seem boring will be the one given by God. On earth? I do not need perfection, because what else after that? What would be the essence of life if I stopped growing or learning. God will give eternal peace that comes with the perfection we all seek here, when the time comes. Yes, Tom. Great work.

Since man set foot on the earth there's been war after war, even today things haven't changed, I do belive God has given up on us all.

Beautifully written and worthy subject! If we'd all remind ourselves we are the children of a King, princesses and princess, joint heirs with Christ, perhaps the love for self will be there in a healthy way. The only time we are perfect are the moments after repentance, covered by the blood. But God loves us in every moment!! "while we were yet sinners, Christ died fir the ungodly" awesome writing Tom!

( and some really great achievments have been Done) so I put this not so much to you.But all We are missing the true perfection of being in Gods Love.People are mutilating themselves Tattoing peircing suciding drugging boozing etc (all such things demote our flesh) so actions Agree that WE NEED GOD !!! We are so blind.)

I hope the one day is soon. A lot is happening and some humans are beginning to not deserve that title. Lovely written Dear, Tom. We can't wait to let loose from this earthly world and all the baggage it carries. We want to be free and happy as it was intended in the beginning.

We are getting there, and many are spiritually awakening, removing themselves, and looking within to seek the truth, their highest trust on the journey. A beautiful reminder you wrote. It is all divine timing because even the evil/low vibrational serves a purpose: to align us with our highest good in love and light.

This is my hope too. One day the world will be set free of all sorrows and tribulations. At the end of life, our Father has reserved a place of perfection for us. This hope helps us wade through all the difficulties of life. A beautiful poem, spiritually binding! Sending you blessings, dear Tom !

Thx Valsa. Nice to know there are many spiritual minded people here who appreciate Scripture

Those who pray daily show grace for the spiritual Entity or Entities who we expect acknowledgement from in the end of life. It's what we say in prayer that'll make all the difference. That being said, if I reach eighty yrs of age, my will is to make poetry that keeps a spiritual state of mindset, a promise to myself; nothing else will matter except keeping all negativity away! Till then well... Enjoyed your thoughts on perfection! xo
