Perfection

'Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect'. (Matt 5:48)

I have always considered one of my greatest strengths as being visionary...the ability to 'see' an entire problem or challenge and subsequently to devise a plan aimed at solving the situation. Invariably, my plans were idealistic and my problem was always that as we progressed in implementation, the reality was further and further away from the ideal and I would lose my heart for the project. This was God demonstrating to me that in this physical world, perfection is not attainable.

With that said, perfection is achievable in the spiritual(or inner) realm. It consists of eliminating every negative thought, feeling and emotion until we are living 100% of the time in a positive place of love, joy and peace. No matter what happens to us, our response is always positive, loving, caring. The amazing thing about this is that as we grow in love and positivity within, our external world grows to mirror these changes. As such as we reach perfection spiritually, it is not long before our external mirrors this perfection...and we are in heaven on earth.
