Doesn’t this seem like an impossible command? How can we do as Jesus says? We can not be perfect on our own, but everything is possible with God’s grace. Most of us will not attain that perfection here on earth, but that does not mean that the pursuit of perfection, which is truly a pursuit of love, is not worthwhile. If we seek to be like the Heavenly Father here on earth, then we will be united with Him in Heaven. 3 Do you have any good
