There is a wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his
limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and
not feel like a failure for doing so. There is a wholeness about the man or
woman who has learned that he or she is strong enough to go through a tragedy
and survive, she can lose someone and still feel like a complete person. Life is
not a trap set for us by God so that he can condemn us for failing. Life is not
a spelling bee, where no matter how many words you have gotten right, you are
disqualified if you make one mistake. Life is more like a baseball season, where
even the best team loses one third of its games and even the worst team has its
days of brilliance. Our goal is to win more games than we lose. When we accept
that imperfection is part of being human, and when we can continue rolling
through life and appreciate it, we will have achieved a wholeness that others
can only aspire to. That, I believe, is what God asks of us — not “Be perfect”,
but “Be whole”. If we are brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive,
generous enough to rejoice in another’s happiness, and wise enough to know there
is enough love to go around for us all, then we can achieve a fulfillment that
no other living creature will ever know
