*The Perfect Picture()*

(5-Year Anniv🌻🙌🏻)*

In 2009,Ghanaian Filmmaker Shirley Frimpong-Manso produced the box office movie- *The Perfect Picture* in Ghana.
The movie was described as 'perfect' in Picture quality,Producion,directing,Acting &others...yet it still had its flaws as many questioned other areas like aspects of the storyline&other themes.

At best, someone aptly described it as humanly Perfect.As excellent as it was, the Perfect picture was still not perfect.

Our lives as humans can be best described as that.No matter what we do,we in ourselves can never be perfect.(Rom.3:10)

However, not until this perfect intervention of what Christ did on the cross for us. The moment we believe in that, spiritually God makes us anew,perfect in nature opening up his world of a Perfect Picture(Will,Plans&Purposes) for us.One that has no flaws.

_Psalm 18:30-As for God, his way is perfect:The LORD’s word is flawless;he shields all who take refuge in him._

This is a personal observation confirmed by an insider source from another:Just like us, our anointed&revered men of God can also be as petty&guilty of certain common things that you won't even do.

_'...He shields all who take refuge in him.'_...That is the difference at the end of the day to abide& take refuge in him allowing him to work on a work-in-progress like us to its final state.

Remember, though we are still not perfect yet... _(Eph.4:13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature,attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.)_
;We have a mandate to present to the world God's perfect picture for their lives.

Interestingly, in living out this Perfect Picture,Our  lives are full of the everyday troubles,certain common& 'unpardonable' mistakes,unbearable pains&sorrows amidst the temptations& trials;yet we are still full of Joy.

In the end, because we are in him,he enables us to trade our sorrows&pains for joy, weakness for strength and the many troubles for Victory which is only found in Christ Jesus.

*For those resting,basking&living in Christ, this is our lives- God continues to work on all of our imperfect self  to mirror the life of Perfect Picture which he has willed for us in spite of the many afflictions here on Earth.*
_He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever."_(Rev. 21:4)

_Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in good health, even as your soul prospers.(3John 1:2)_

_We are God's Workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do  good works which he prepared in advance for us to do.(Eph.2:10)_

*SO I SAY:*
*We live here on Earth but with a heavenly Perfect Picture of who and what we are to affect the world...The Perfect Picture*
