Perfect.....

Today's scriptures included a text I often

'sorta' understood...

"Be perfect,

as your Heavenly Father is

perfect."  Matthew 5:48

Looked up the word used for 

'Perfect' - it means - mature, a finished work, complete in every area.

In fact the word was used of a machine that 'had all it's parts'... it was 'perfect' or 'complete'

Context? - loving the hard to love ref Matt 5:43-47

God loves those who are easy to love

as well as 

the ones who 'don't deserve it'....

Perfect...

Consistent...

The same in every area...

Hmmm.... Puts a different 'slant' on

my understanding of what Jesus is calling me to....

Perfection

The Impossible?

or

In Him

the 'impossible'

becomes

not just possible

but

'normal'?

Consistent

Same with every person....

even the ones that are 'difficult'....?

Hmm

Jesus

As You live in me

I ask You to let me

See with Your eyes

Hear with Your ears

That I might

walk in step with the

Father....

and how he treats each person...

with 

Kindness....

and

Mercy

and

Grace...

Yes.... Thank You.
