My morning blinding flash of the obvious: In God's eyes all is perfection, thus all of us are perfect to God. Perfection beholds perfection. We cannot go to God to fix us...we are perfect in his eyes.
Ah, here comes acceptance, all clad in white. We catch a glimmer out of the corner of our eye, and we understand that we must go to God not to get fixed but for acceptance. Acceptance, not being of the reasoning mind, takes us to a new plane of consciousness. We find acceptance of self in God consciousness.
It is acceptance that transmutes our defects. Through the grace of humility, we accept our defects as ours, ours alone, and in that instant they are transmuted into love and laughter. (I think of my defects as my ego Lucy's toys...keeps me from taking them and/or me so seriously.)
Let me quick add: For you and me this is a one-at-a-time proposition...there is no wholesale transmuting of defects for trudgers such as us. Which is just one of the good reasons that we are trudgers...it gives us our life's spiritual work which, who's kidding whom?, will no doubt continue until three days after we're all dead.
There. Ain't that good news?..serving other than self for our eternity. God is so good to us.
Thank you.
