How To Be A Perfect Person – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran
“The Lord helps them and delivers them…. because they take refuge in Him.” Psalm 37:40
My precious friend, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Today for your blessing we are going to meditate upon the promise verse, Psalm 37:40. It says, “The Lord helps them and delivers them… because they take refuge in Him.” What a beautiful promise! Who will be helped by God? A man who is perfect (i.e., blameless) and upright indeed, as mentioned in Psalm 37:37. Also Psalm 37:39 clearly states that “the salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; He is their stronghold in time of trouble.” So, my dear friend, we should first become perfect and blameless before God. Deuteronomy 18:13 declares “You must be blameless before the Lord your God.”
Do you know how to become a righteous person? We become righteous and blameless when we are washed by the blood of Jesus Christ that was shed on the cross for us. Yes, just to make you a perfect and blameless person, God has sacrificed His life on the cross. Today let me ask you this question. Are you going on the right path, my friend? If it’s a no, you have to look to the cross first where the Lord Jesus gave Himself as a living sacrifice just for you. Otherwise, it is difficult to lead an upright life. At the cross, Jesus was bruised and broken to pieces from head to toe. What great agony and suffering he had to go through just for you, my dear friend.
Today will you open your heart to this loving Lord and accept Him as your Saviour. You can become a perfect person by the blood of Jesus Christ. In the Bible, we read about a man called Job who was an upright man. Even though he was a godly man he had to go through a lot of loss and suffering in his life. But because he was a perfect and upright man God helped him to overcome all the suffering he had in his life. He became a blessed man finally. In the same way, you can also become a perfect person and through that, you can receive all of God’s abundant blessings. My friend, always remember to look to the Lord to get His help and blessings.
Prayer:
My precious heavenly Father, thank You Lord for the provision You have made on the cross for me to receive Your blessings. Father, You suffered on the cross for my sins. You were beaten and bruised on the cross to put an end to my sins and my sufferings. Lord, I look to Your cross now. Forgive me for I am a sinner. Cleanse me with Your precious blood. Make me Your child and let me become blameless and upright before You. Let Your abundant blessings flow into my life. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
