Love Completes Us
“Be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect.” Jesus Christ, Gospel of Matthew To be perfect as God is perfect means to be complete or whole as God is. We can’t be complete or whole, however, if we are divided. I can’t be complete or whole if I am divided against myself. I can’t be complete or whole if I am divided against others. And I can’t be complete or whole if I am divided against my Higher Power. If I am my own worst enemy, I will feel empty and hopeless inside because I am divided against myself. If I am filled with hatred or resentment toward another person, I will feel angry, anxious and fearful because I am divided against them (and myself as well). If I am angry with God, but too afraid to express it to God, I will feel bitter and helpless inside because I am divided against God (and myself as well). Even if we are not personally divided against ourselves through self-loathing, we will still be divided against ourselves if we are divided against another...
