Perfection

After a true experience of turning from sin and accepting the forgiveness Christ offers us, there will always be a journey of growth, the evidence of which is not just obeying God but a desire to be odedient to God. (II Peter 1:3-9)

Perfection will never be possible, for only God is perfect but we can perfect areas of our lives, or our very beings. That perfecting is ongoing, just by the nature of the word. Only God is perfect. Period.

We can never really arrive at perfection and stop. To persue perfection, we must persist. Persist in obeying God. Is this making you tired just reading it? Great! That's wonderful if it is.

You begin to see how perfection for us is our journey. AND you begin to see that achieving it is to tap into perfect perfection! That is, tapping into Him. The theme here is "Give up!"

Whoa.... what? Oh yes, give up to Him who is perfection. Give your struggle up to Him and it will be perfectly perfect!

If your desire is perfection or as close to it as possible, let the perfect God take over your life. Through no effort of your own, you will be as perfect as it is possible for God to make you! Oh, what a plan! It's no plan. Just surrender and seek Him and be about His business and you will have more fun and get closer to perfection than anything you could design or imagine!

Grace and peace to you all.
