I hear a lot of people claim to be perfectionists. "I like things just so," or, "I don't feel good about not doing a job 110%" But what is the standard for perfection?
Did you know the Bible has a definition of perfection? That's right. Are you ready for this? You might want to sit down. It has nothing to do with putting the finishing touches on that project. Or making sure you dust under the nick knacks on cleaning day.
And yet, we are commanded to be perfect: (Matthew 5:48)
"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Question: How can I be perfect?
Answer: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." (Matthew 5:44)

Greetings from the Lima Rescue Mission in Lima, Ohio. We are going to be starting a blog on our page so I was browsing around to see if other missions are doing the same and came across your page.
God bless!
