The imperfect's perfect

Your hands have made me and fashioned me. (Psalm 119:73)

The dimples covering the surface of a golf ball. . .make the ball look imperfect. . . .[However,] an aeronautical engineer says that a perfectly smooth ball would travel only about 130 yards off the tee, but the same ball with the right kind of dimples will fly twice that far. These apparent "flaws" minimize the ball's air resistance and allow it to travel much farther.

Most of us can quickly name the physical characteristics we wish we had been born without. It's difficult to imagine that these "imperfections" are there for a purpose and are part of God's master design. The "dimples" we dislike may enable us to bring the greatest glory to our wise and loving Creator.
