Perfect Light

I read and meditated today, again from a reading by CS Lewis, 'The Joyful Christian', about perfection. He talks about when we ask God into our lives for something specific He will grant it to us or cure our ailment. Although that may be all we ask of Him, He will give us "the full treatment"...He will make us perfect unless through our free will we push Him away. In His effort to render us into absolute perfection, and whatever it may cost us in our earthly life, He will not rest or let us rest until His Father can say He is well pleased with us...this He can do and He will do nothing less.

For a long time I was afraid to commit myself unto the Lord for fear of failure. Today I know that I can never achieve perfection through my own will. Only through him will I achieve absolute perfection...and nothing less. Yes I will stumble and fall, but He will always pick me up and only I can prevent my progress into the Perfect Light.
