text: Read the New Testament.
  
  Get a sense for the daring and the sporting spirit of the early Christians.
  
  News flash:  God's love is dramatic.
  
  Jesus said:  "Be perfect as My Heavenly Father is perfect."
  
  He didn't mean perfect in the human sense, that is, in terms of mastering temporal events, he meant perfect love. 
  
  All our life can be a happy and holy struggle to do things well, with a pure intention, to love others as God loves them!
  
  It means an "inclined plane" of happy struggle toward perfect love until the day we die!
  
  That's holiness.
  
  Of course we find God working through our defects, absolutely. No news there. 
  
  We find Him in the happy struggle to love with His love!
