The Holy Spirit, has lead me to write this small note to you.
Perfection is not attainable in the flesh! We will never acquire perfection. We will never attain its loftiness. We will never be perfect! However, having giving our lives completely and wholly unto the Lord Jesus Christ, we are encouraged thru the Holy Spirit to strive for perfection!
Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own.
Php 3:12
I want everyone to know that I am not perfect and you are not perfect. Quite frankly, sometimes I feel as though I am the greatest of unperfectness! If thats even a word, but you get the point. No not one, me, you, the president, the pope, no human being is perfect! But Jesus Christ is. As a christian, we are to strive to be more like him. Only attaining perfection on that “great and terrible day”.
The Holy Spirit, our Counselor, has been freely given unto us. I must admit, as many of you probably need to admit, that I have not walked closely with the Spirit. I find myself now needing to seek him in my life. As I have begun to do so, I see many things in my life that need to change. You will too…but only if we each begin to LISTEN to the Spirit. I heard someone today say that, “my thorn in the flesh” was such and such. This week, I have realized and can honestly say that I don’t have a thorn in the flesh ………………………………………………I have a whole BRIAR BUSH!
Thank God, for the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, and a big shout out, for thinking so much of us, as to give us the Holy Spirit. Without Him in our lives, we could never continue to strive for perfection.
