Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the rock, His works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful GOD who does no wrong, upright and just is He.
2 Samuel 22:31
"As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is flawless...
Matthew 5:48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly father is perfect.
Hebrews 5:9
...and, once made perfect, he became the course of eternal salvation for all who obey him...
James 1:17
Every good and perfect gift is from above...
You hear a lot of people say (and it's come out of my own mouth), "I live everyday striving to be more and more like him." Do we really? In EVERY aspect of our lives? If we are trying to be more like him...then we are striving for perfection. I know he doesn't expect us to be perfect, but I want to really try. I mean really try this time. Not to be perfect through anyone elses eyes but His. I'm not talking about looking perfect...thinking perfect...acting perfect....which is probably the hardest thing in the world to do and we should definitely try our hardest. I want to be the perfect mother...the perfect wife...the perfect daughter...the perfect sister...the perfect friend. I want to be perfect in the simplest things...for instance cleaning my house and making my bed to perfection.
I want to be that person that just "has it all togehter." Why should we not strive for perfection when that is what GOD is and that is what He has given us?
2 Samuel 22:33
It is GOD who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect.
LORD, I WANT TO BE PERFECT IN YOUR EYES OR AT LEAST SEEM TO BE TRYING...
