02.08-18 - Idol #39 - Lord forgive us for having an idol of perfection. We have a picture in our mind what normal looks like and it can be an idol as well! We judge people with disabilities because they don't fit into our perfect world. We see them as less than perfect in our eyes because of what Hollywood and the Spirit of this World puts out there as perfect. We judge what GOD created as less than perfect because of our mind's eye/image of perfection.
When we form this idol of perfection in our minds, then noone can meet up to your expectations of beauty and perfectness. We then judge God on not creating perfectly. We judge His creation as failures and lacking the blessings of God because they don't fit our perfect idol impression in our minds (the idol). We must tear this impression and idol down in our minds and begin to see ALL of humans as beauty before the Lord.
In the church world we are really bad at seeing someone with a "challenge" and causing them to feel "less-than" because they either don't have enough faith, their parents did something wrong, etc. Instead of us appreciating the DIVERSITY in this person's challenges, we push them away because they are different. God doesn't create anything by accident. In the church world we must cast this idol of perfection down and realize that God is diverse. He wants us to love ALL people even with their challenges.
