Everyday Quote by Lysa TerKeurst

“We aren't supposed to strive for perfection everyday. If we were perfect, we'd have no need for Jesus. And it's through our imperfections that we really feel the pull toward our need for a Savior. So the imperfections serve a wonderful purpose if we'll let them.” quote by Lysa TerKeurst — Download Open image
