What does it mean to be perfect? How do you love others? This is how:
Be a river where supply and money runs through you to others who need it. Don’t be a dam that keeps everything for yourself. Use EVERYTHING you have to advance the Kingdom of God. Be nothing but a conduit. Live for the Kingdom. Be the portal through which the goodness of Heaven flows. Desire nothing for yourself. Turn your back upon luxury and selfish gain. Seek only the Kingdom. Seek only to love others, serve others, and help others.
You cannot serve both God and mammon. When you move towards selfish luxury, you move away from Jesus. When you move towards what man respects, you move away from what Jesus respects. Be a river of forgiveness. Hunger for peace. Crave reconciliation.
When you move towards vengeance, you move away from Jesus. When you gossip about others, you gossip about Jesus. When you hate others, you hate Jesus. When you do evil unto others, you do evil unto Jesus. Everything good that you do to others, you do to Jesus. Be merciful to others as Jesus has been merciful to you. Be generous to others as Jesus has been generous to you. Show the grace that you have been shown.
You cannot separate righteousness from generosity. Do not be a dam. Be a river. Store up nothing for yourself, be a portal, a conduit, an agent of limitless supply for others. Do not worry about yourself. Jesus will always take care of you!
