We people tend to become perfect in all senses and when are not able to we feel worthless and dejected.But we never realize that the greatest joy is in being the person you in reality are and in accepting your flaws and embracing your strengths and potentials .The day people will understand this and will be genuine,everyone will accept and love them more than they can ever receive.
What do you think?

A true friend loveth at all times... no matter what and stick with you. You should listen to TD Jakes' sermon on constituents, comrade and confidants - its really good. Confidants stick with you no matter what but the other two are there until their agenda that is similar somewhat to your has been achieved then they are gone. These are not your friends and its true if you should just think about it.

The only person that was perfect was Jesus Christ and people still tried to see bad and evil in Him but as I said before you have to know who are because if you dont you can never be genuine. Genuine does not mean being perfect - it means being sincere, truthful, honest and down to earth (my definition this one). We all have faults but it does not mean that we cannot be truthful, honest or sincere with each other or in our dealings does it?

No one is perfect. We are all unique in our own special way.

You know for many years when i was younger I felt ashamed because I have full lips and was teased or embarrassed by people on a regular basis. I never thought I was attractive and wondered about it. As I got older I realized that this was just my outward appearance and the real me was inside. The real me is kind, loving, caring and a general softie but can be very stubborn, hardheaded and downright irritating, also outspoken. I would cry at people's problems when I could not help and helped if I could. I am intelligent and I did not even know that until I started working at this Ministry! Man I had low low self esteem.
When I really surrendered my life to Jesus then I knew that I was a lovely person inside and out despite my many faults. I really do not know how to pretend to like someone... I normally just tell you that I do not appreciate your behaviour and ask that you desist or else you will see a side of me that is not too nice. I love to be honest and genuine with people and if I cannot be that way with people it means that I have to get out of your company.
I believe why people cannot be genuine is that they always have a hidden agenda and because they do they believe that the next person has one too--- as a man thinketh so is he.
I know of a coworker who once accused me of sabotaging her work when I did not remember that the document came in. All she had to do was take the incoming correspondence book and search but no she was above that! I had honestly did not remember that the document came in and there were many instances that she would take my name to the boss. She sits in her cubicle on the phone all day, does no significant amount of work and then when the Head comes in she pretends as if she is busy and no one does anything about it. Now that is a lie I cannot for the life of me live. I reach work a little after six each morning and I leave at five or later if I do not have classes. I work until my time is up - I cant lie to God and I certainly cant lie to myself.
It all goes back to what people consider to be important. Is it more important to lie to keep your job or tell the truth and deal with the repercussions? I will tell the truth no matter what. We have to understand that it is very hard for some people to be genuine because they have never been so they dont know how to be.
I do not believe in doing things half way- I do it 100%. so if I love it is with my whole being and I am going to be honest with you all the way. Maybe that is why I am not married you think? But anyway I am happy with me because people know I am reliable and trustworthy and I take that over anything else in my life and I know I am reliable and trustworthy too. It comes down to who you are and how you see yourself.
