"Be perfect therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."
-Jesus (Matthew 5:48)
Whoa.
How else do you react to something like that? Perfect? Me? Um... yeah right. I'm DEFINITELY not perfect. Not even close.
What is perfection? I like to define it as exact conformity to a standard. What's the standard here? God's character. Whoa. Exact conformity means just that: exact conformity. No deviation whatsoever. Yikes.
Thankfully though, Paul gives us a bit of hope on the subject of conforming to this standard
"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me"
-Paul (Philippians 4:13)
Thank you Jesus for helping carry us to who we were made to be.
