Perfection Through Subtraction

"Perfection is achieved not when there's nothing more to add, but whenthere's nothing more to take away." -Antoine de Saint Exupery

The quote above mirrors how Michaelangelo formed David out of the marble block. He said he simply chipped away at the marble until he could see David in the marble and set him free. There is much wisdom in that thinking. As we remove areas we cling tightly to in our life that create anxiety or fear, and learn to give them to God, we also will find the freedom our souls yearn for.



"He must become greater; I must become less.”- John 3:30
