Is Your Striving For Perfection Authentic?
----------------------------------------------------
Many Christians strive for perfection, following the teaching of Jesus: "So be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48).
But we have to ask ourselves: is our perfection authentic or is it something we merely imagine to be perfection? What is true perfection that is pleasing to God?
We can ask: is our perfection a help and a consolation to others or is it a burden and a sorrow to others?
