PERFECTION
"Ain't nobody perfect." That's the usual response from those who are reluctant to hearing (trusting/obeying) the Word of God. Especially the call to discipleship.
Perfection, in God's eyes, is not a matter of having every "i" dotted, and every "t" crossed; or as it is written, making sure to tax and tithe on every herb, yet neglecting God's more important instruction to show compassion.

"With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God."
There's just something about the way God does things that, quite simply, keeps on blowing my mind. I havehad a silly painted on smile since my last post. God brought it to my understanding that, in fact, I have already been traversing the cities, and that, for quite some time now. First online and even more so, now. Because we're living in a very different generation, I believe that God is using sports to literally bring the cities to me.
God already knew what my situation would be. He knew that circumstances would be such that I would barely be able to afford local bus fare, let alone, travel the world. BUT GOD, is faithful to His Word, and He promises that He will always make a way for His people, especially His disciples. Therefore, whether the disciple sets out on foot, on a donkey, or via the worldwide web, the work of the Lord will be accomplished.
Our discipleship accounts are already set-up; they just have to be activated. All God requires for activation, is a willing spirit; He'll handle the details. And He is the only one who calls, and chooses.
I DO LOVE HIS WAY
Matthew 19:21-30 [AMP]
21) Jesus answered him, If you would be perfect [that is, have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me]. 22) But when the young man heard this, he went away sad (grieved and in much distress), for he had great possessions. 23) And Jesus said to His disciples, Truly I say to you, it will be difficult for a rich man to get into the kingdom of heaven. 24) Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to go into the kingdom of heaven. 25) When the disciples heard this, they were utterly puzzled (astonished, bewildered), saying, Who then can be saved [from eternal death]? 26) But Jesus looked at them and said, With men this is impossible, but all things are possible with God. 27) Then Peter answered Him, saying, Behold, we have left [our] all and have become Your disciples [sided with Your party and followed You]. What then shall we receive? 28) Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, in the new age [the Messianic rebirth of the world], when the Son of Man shall sit down on the throne of His glory, you who have [become My disciples, sided with My party and] followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones and judge the twelve tribes of Israel. 29) And anyone and everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for My name's sake will receive many [even a hundred] times more and will inherit eternal life. 30) But many who [now] are first will be last [then], and many who [now] are last will be first [then].

Perfectness is to have a willing, self sacrificing spirit, of compassion and agapē love. Anyone who is ashamed of Him, and His Word; He will be a shamed of before the Father. Simply put, despite what anyone else thinks or espouses, the embodiment of maturity, to do things according to God's instructions, is PERFECT.
