GOD MAKES US PERFECT!

 









GOD MAKES US PERFECT!


There are many DISHONEST

PEOPLE in this world=

In fact=the parable today

Is about a dishonest steward


SCHOLARS believe the dishonest

Steward committed USURY

Against his neighbors


And REPENTED only when

His master found out


Isn't that the way it is=sometimes

With us too=GETTING CAUGHT

By God=by Jesus

Can motivate us=to really CHANGE OUR WAYS


God can=Jesus does and can

Make us PERFECT

They are the

ONLY perfect ones


“And the master commended

The DISHONEST STEWARD

For acting prudently”                                                                                                Luke 16:8


“He said to them=

'You are the ones

Who justify yourselves

In the eyes

Of others


But GOD KNOWS

Your hearts


What people value highly

Is detestable

In God's sight”                                                                                                            Luke 16:15


Sometimes it takes

Being CAUGHT

In some kind of wrongdoing


For us to

Really change our ways


But God can TOUCH US=

Jesus can touch us

To really CHANGE OUR HEARTS


When we CHANGE

And try to become Like God=

Though we don't

Really ever reach it


God makes us=Jesus makes

Us PERFECT=In heart=and mind

And soul


Though we have to

CONFESS our sins=and wrongdoing

To God first


“As for God

His way is PERFECT

The Lord's way

Is flawless


He shields all

Who take refuge

In him”                                                                                                                           Psalm 18:30


“You will keep

IN PERFECT PEACE


Those whose minds

Are steadfast

Because they trust in you”                                                                                         Isaiah 26:3


When we are sorry=CONTRITION

Often starts out half-hearted


Sometimes our heart is ready=

But our minds are NOT=

Sometimes we become AWARE


Only when we think

About the consequences


But God=in his MERCY-

SMILES on us=

His ways are PERFECT

And he has

HIS WAY with us


“Every good and PERFECT GIFT

Is from above


Coming down from the Father

Of the heavenly lights

Who does not change

Like shifting shadows”                                                                                                 James 1:17


When we ADOPT God's WAYS

We become PERFECT too=

GOD'S WAYS make us perfect


In Jesus' name=and in the name of our EVER PERFECT FATHER!
