“BE PERFECT!”

 

Matthew 5:43-48                     (ESV)

Love Your Enemies

“[43] “You have heard that it WAS said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ [44] But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, [45] so that YOU MAY BE SONS OF YOUR FATHER WHO IS IN HEAVEN. For HE makes HIS sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. [46] For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? [47] And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? [48] You therefore must “BE PERFECT”, as your HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT.”

The are MANY TIMES that GOD places me in situations to REFLECT HIS LOVE to a lost and dying world!  But the “human nature”, that we ALL are born with, does it’s best to stay alive, even though DEATH came to it when I surrendered to JESUS on January 08, 1978!  

Killing a person is not something that I am experienced in.  Taking away their will is just as important to their life.  When we “give up” our former way of life to THE LORD, we “surrender” our wishes to what HE desires to get from us!  

FATHER IN HEAVEN, cause this humble servant to YEILD to YOUR guidance and leadership and to “BE PERFECT”, as my HEAVENLY FATHER IS PERFECT!!!
