About This Quote
“God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.” is a saying that refers to the notion that, deep down, we know we can be and do better than we currently are and do. It also suggests that God does not compare us to our current level of human perfection, but to the ultimate perfection of who we can become.
