You can be a perfect person when you become one with Jesus.

Perfect doesn’t mean that you never make a mistake or are never wrong. Rather, “perfect” means being mature in Christ, genuinely seeking to please God in all ways.

The words you speak are a reflection of your heart — what you think and how you feel. The words that come out of your mouth send a message to God and to others about your relationship with the Savior.

Before you speak, ask yourself, “Is what I am about to say:

• Free from partiality and hypocrisy?

• Pure?

• Merciful?

• Peaceable?

• Gentle?

• Uplifting?

• Life-giving?”

Choose your words carefully. Let each of them reflect your love for God and the perfect life He wants to give you.
