S – Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. 

      Matthew 5:48 CSB

O –  Commentary:  He did not lower His standard to accommodate humans; instead He set forth His absolute holiness as the standard. Though this standard can never be perfectly met by man himself, a person who by faith trusts in God enjoys His righteousness being reproduced in his life.

“Matthew,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – The Lord’s standard is perfection which I cannot achieve. Yet, I choose how I think, speak and act.  I can make choices that allow me to grow and mature.  Perfection isn’t a legitimate goal.  Continuing to grow and reflect the heart and character of God is a daily one.

R – Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy that allow me to grow each day.  Help me to make choices that will grow my heart and character to reflect you.  Give me strength and courage to do that in good and bad times.  While Your standard is perfection, I am grateful that you love me in my journey.
