BE PERFECT
Refinement requires purpose; requires patience; requires practice, practice, practice.
Another word for refinement is finishing. Cement finishing. Furniture finishing. Auto finishing.
They, both words, mean perfection.
Jesus said:
"Be you therefore perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect ."
Matt. 5:48.
Man can attain perfection. Jesus said it. Mankind can restore, can regain perfection. This is done by pursuing perfection with: purpose, with patience, and with practice, practice, practice: all perfection's perquisites. The standard must be up high; the banner must be high in order to refine, to finish, to perfect.
No advertising nor adornments are needed. Neither are any degrees, certification, beatification, baptism.
Purpose, patience, and practice practice practice practice are needed to come into the perfection that God indeed intended for you from before birth. They are what is most needful in perfection's rigorous pursuit.
Evil flees from perfection like the plague. It seeks to bring low, to bring down beneath the ground, that which is perfect.
The pyramids of Egypt are perfect .
Mankind has been perfect but fell from his summit in process of time, when he no longer sought to refine his God-given gifts.
Want to be happy? Desire to be free? Very well. Be perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect .
Barrack Obama and Donald Trump are two perfect case studies of recent United States Presidents who have either accepted and embraced, or have rejected and disgraced, the perquisites of perfection's eternal principles.
Amen.
