PERFECT ONE
Matthew 5:48
O God, You are the Perfect One ... perfect in strength, perfect in beauty, perfect in peace, perfect in righteousness, perfect in love. Heavenly Father, You tell me to be perfect? How can I even begin to be like You? Is there any hope for the heart of man, which is more deceitful than all else and desperately sick? O God, You know our situation; You see our plight. Yet, You say to each one of our hearts: Behold, My hand is not so short that it cannot save. Neither is My ear so dull that is cannot hear. But, your iniquities have made a separation between you and Me, and your sins have hidden My face from you. O God, here is my sin. Please God, take away my sin! I praise You, Father, for Your perfect solution to the marred heart of man: Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Thank You, Jesus, for being the unblemished and spotless One who came to redeem my soul! Your precious blood covers me! And only because You live in me can I be perfect, mirroring You in strength, in beauty, in peace, in righteousness, and in love.

About this Plan
A treasure principal of faith lies within this 30 day devotional, "The Heartbeat of God." Each day begins with a declaration of praise using these words, "O God, You are...". Then, an unfolding of His character and attributes begins (for example: "O God, You are Good"). These scripture-filled devotional prayers guide the reader into a practice of lifting up God's Name, which results in a deeper understanding of His intentional "heartbeat" of love for His people.
