“Perfection”

Have you ever set “perfection” as a goal on your list? That may seem a little strange or unobtainable to many, but in God’s eyes, perfection isn’t about performance. In fact, it isn’t about behavior at all. The bible says, “I will walk within my house with a perfect heart.”

What God is looking for is a heart that is perfect toward Him. The bible says that people look on the outside, but God looks at the heart. That means He is more pleased with someone who has a heart set on Him, who may mess up often, than He is with someone doing all the “right things” but for all the wrong reasons.

The condition of your heart is extremely important to God. When you have a right heart, you are humble before Him. You seek His ways. You get up each day with a desire to please Him. You submit every area of your life to Him, and you are willing to make adjustments and receive correction so you can grow and come up higher.

As you prepare for this week, I encourage you to make knowing Him your number one priority. Yield yourself to Him and let Him shape your character. Seek Him diligently and as you set your heart on Him you will see Him cause you to rise higher and develop in every area of your life!
