Perfection Is Expected

43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
MATTHEW 5:43-48 (niv)

I have heard many Christians say that we cannot be perfect, now. However, that is a lie from the devil. The enemy wants you to think you are in bondage and a slave to sin. That is not true and it is a choice. As the above scripture states, anyone can be nice to those they like (are friends with, etc.). But true love (perfection - love is perfection and covers all), loves at all times, all people, no matter what the circumstance may be. God loves all, and as His children, we are expected to mirror our heavenly Father and love all (be perfect) as well.

Children mimick their parents. Children look like (act like, talk like, walk like) their parent. So starting today, before you leave out your house today, look in the mirror and ask yourself one question. Who do I look like today? Perfection is obtainable, now. If you do not believe so, then ask yourself this - Who is my Father? One (Heavenly Father) says you can be perfect, the other (satan) says you cannot.
