“Be perfect” said The Master.” For that is what I am.
Be stronger than a lion and weaker than a lamb.
It’s not a contradiction to be anything at all.
Much bigger than the universe and infinitely small.
It isn’t size that matters; its your integrity;
And surely that’s the lifestyle I always want to see.
It isn’t a position of pomp and circumstance.
Instead it’s being conscience of our Divine romance.
I’m looking for a partner whom I can fill with love.
A love that is so perfect it will fit you like a glove.
A state of such commitment you will wish to stay at home,
And be the sort of wife who will not ever want to roam.
I know that you can do it. I want you to be mine.
Totally committed to your King, the Christ Divine.
And as my bride become a one that’s treated just like Me.
Included as a member of the Holy Family.
It’s total separation from the world and all its ways;
It’s longing to be with Me throughout eternal days,
With Spiritual virtues that are very seldom seen,
Which demonstrate a lifestyle that’s infinitely clean!
The essence of perfection is to seek to be like me.
And since you’re in My image it’s a possibility.
Perhaps you’ve never thought of it but everything you do,
Do it with an attitude that is holy, right and true.
You are more than able right now right where you live,
To show the way to do it, by teaching to forgive.
As I once said to Abraham the time that we once met;
Those who walk before me, in perfection will be set.
For if you follow faithfully you’re perfect in My sight.
For I’ll will walk beside you to help you get it right.
So do not see perfection as some far and distant goal.
Give yourself completely to the One who makes you whole.
Dedicate to doing this regardless, come what may,
And you will find perfection will come to you to stay.
My child I know you’re human, remember so was I.
I faced the same temptations. I had to bleed and die.
At times it seemed impossible to get out of the mess;
And so instead of cursing I took the time to bless
The people all around Me. That’s how I overcame.
And I’m at your disposal to help you do the same.”
