Are you perfect?

Have to get perfect scores, perfect grades, perfect looks, perfect speech, perfect home, perfect clothes, perfect cars, everything in life trying to be perfect. While some may try in one way or another they will fail to be perfect. Nobody on this planet is perfect. There were only three people on Earth who were perfect.

Adam, Eve, and of course Jesus. In life we try to do our best but will always fall short. There are things in life that we just don't do. Take for example stealing. Is it ok to steal? Most reading will say no some may say yes but the correct answer is no. Imagine you saved all your money to purchase a car and someone just comes and steals it. That person who stole it didn't care that you worked hard, saving to purchase that car.

Is doing drugs wrong? Yes it is but most reading will try and come up with an excuse as to why it's ok. There is a difference between making mistakes in life and sinning against God. Would you steal? If you say no, why? Why wouldn't you steal? Because you know that it's wrong. Stealing isn't the only thing that God wants us to avoid.

The scriptures tell us to avoid all unclean acts. To avoid abusive speech. To avoid fornication. To avoid being drunk. The scriptures are there to guide us and take us to the next level. The next level of course being paradise earth. It's not a dream but to get there requires effort on our part. It requires us doing our best, giving God our best.

Is it going to be hard? Yes it is but how much do you depend on God when times are hard? How much do you depend on God when things are good? Is it more so when things are hard? Shouldn't it be all the time? Shouldn't you depend on God all the time? We live in a wicked world where Satan is ready to attack us at any given moment. Satan doesn't care when things are good or bad. If things are good, he will distract us with so called Good things in order to keep us away from Jehovah. If things are bad he will distract us from Jehovah by keeping the pressures of this system on things on our shoulders. Point is - We need to depend on Jehovah daily to get us through the day.

Jehovah is a constant light in this dark world and we need to keep following that light no matter what it takes even if it means out death. Brave men and woman of old who stood up to those who said we should leave Jehovah gave their life in order to keep their integrity to Jehovah. Scriptures tell us not to fear man but to fear the one who can take away your soul. If we die, Jehovah is the only one who can bring us back. Man will not and cannot do this for us. Matter of fact, they want to kill us.

This would make Satan very happy to see God's followers fall. This would make Satan very happy if he would see us die. He wants you dead. He hates you. Don't let him win............Depend on Jehovah....
