AIM FOR PERFECTION

2 Corinthians 13:11

"Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one
mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will
be with you." (NIV)


"Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in
peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with
you." (KJV)


To aim is to narrow the target, have accurate sight, and
hit the center. We achieve this in our Christian walk by
having close communion with the Lord, daily ongoing
prayer, study of the Word, and fellowship with other
believers. Perfection is the ideal, the pure, and the
untainted. None of us has reached perfection, save One,
but we are all moving toward it if we are truly seeking
Him.


Heavenly Father, please help us to follow your
command to be perfect as you are perfect. In our own
strength it is an impossibility, but with you all things
are possible. Help us to trust you fully to bring us to
perfection, we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
