"Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." (Matthew 5:48)

**To Be Spiritually Intelligent*

        If we follow Christ, everything will work out well in the end—this is a given. I feel sorry for all those who still remain in darkness or try to find some way out of their quandary. Pursuing anything besides the God of Christ will only lead you to a dead end, also a given.

***Only God Can Transform Us***

        Only God can fundamentally change us. I am talking about changing to become holy, for any other change doesn't mean much. We can try to be holy, but we still can't remove our sins on our own, for only God has the power to do that. So if we want to become holy, turn to the God of Christ. Otherwise, we remain unholy!

**Awesome Experience

        At Communion time, it was receiving the most holy food in the presence of the most holy God.

***Our Source of Freedom and Peace***

        Once you surrender yourself completely to God, you immediately experience freedom and peace— that's because you don't need to struggle to be somebody or to fight your own ego anymore. God is now your ally; it was you who mistreated him as your enemy before. The Lord God can "groom" you so much better than you. There's no greater joy than returning to the loving Father after you've wandered away!

***IT HAS TO WORK!***

        The Lord God even sent his only Son to die on the cross in our place so that we might have eternal life—we'd better believe that he wants to and can save us! 

**Ready to Go to the Lord?

         If you hesitate and have to think about it even a little bit, you are not ready yet.

**Only One Thing Matters

        Communion experience. Your are now Christ's; relatively speaking, everything else doesn't matter much anymore. 

**Great Comfort**

        God becomes our security guard when we acknowledge him as our Lord and loving Father. He now makes sure that our souls remain safe with him. This is indeed a great comfort.

***Reason for Believing in Only One God*

        Today's first reading came from 2 Kings 5. Naaman, the army commander of the king of Aram, is a leper. After following the prophet Elisha's instructions, he was cured and became clean. So he returned to the man of God and said to him, "Now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel." I know that there is no God other than the God of Christ because I have experienced his peace, the true peace you receive only after you have surrendered yourself to him.
