Perfect Penmanship
One of the subjects that my students
love to complain about is penmanship. Most of them have decent penmanship, a
few have really outstanding handwriting skills. Some of them could do better if
they wouldn’t try to rush through it and get it out of the way. To do a good
job in their handwriting work all they have to do is follow the example in the
book and duplicate it in their work.
In somewhat the same way, God expects
us to copy his example perfectly. He says,” Be perfect, therefore, as your
heavenly Father, is perfect.” Matthew 5:48. God is our Creator and as such He
can demand that we obey his will. He has laid out his divine will for us to
follow. We only have to follow his perfect will and duplicate his example in
order to stay on his good side. The problem is that we don’t follow through on
his will, nor are we able to do it. In fact from the moment we entered this
world, we were a failure in respect to God’s will. And there is nothing we can
do to change the fact that we failed.
God knew the predicament we would be
in even before he created all things. And he planned our redemption. He sent
his own Son to do what we can’t do, live a perfect life. Then, he gave up his
life to pay for our sins and remove our guilt. He rose from the grave to assure
us that all is complete and heaven is God’s gift to all who believe.
We may not have perfect penmanship but
in God’s eyes, we are perfect!

Supporting Faith Lutheran School
Want an easy way to support our
school? Collect BoxTops and turn them in
