Perfection?

I read something recently about seeking perfection. It was suggested that I seek God rather than perfection. "Come to me all you who are wearied and burdened," says Matthew 11:28-30. So I find it a bit less daunting to seek God with all my faults instead of working towards perfection. At my age I don't think perfection is going to happen. Even my friends will tell me that. So why exhaust ourselves with trying to do everything perfectly? Leave somethings alone, and undone, and spend time with God, in all your mess. My God does not mind. Does yours?
