Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Mathew 5:48 NIV
Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered and, once made perfect, he became the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him
Hebrews 5:8-9 NIV
We are often caught in the dilemma of perfection, on one hand, we know as humans we cannot be perfect but on the other, how can we be imperfect, if we are created by God? Perhaps a trait of humans is to find definitive answers and hence there has to be a solution mathematically speaking. But this doesn't work with matters of Faith, which is why one cannot explain a miracle and miracles do happen. So how then are we to be perfect?
Jesus in his human nature was obedient and lived his purpose by accepting the cross, that is what brought him to perfection. So, no matter where you are in life now, whatever be your state, know that Jesus died for you individually and therefore as a Christian you are saved and nothing separates you from God(CCC #2013). However you were created for a purpose and in order to reach its fulfillment, you have to allow God's grace to work within you by relating everything you do to Jesus and by doing so, you will come to live your call to perfection.
I pray that God our Father brings to you to the perfection of himself like He did with Jesus who was obedient to the Father's will and became the perfect offering. May your life be governed, guarded and guided by his Holy Spirit to fulfill all that God desires for you. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
