—Leviticus 22:17-25

Perfection. Many of us seek it but we cannot achieve it apart from God. Seeking after worldly perfection can be dangerous to our well-being, causing us to obsess over things that only bring temporary satisfaction. God required perfect sacrifices be brought by the Israelites as atonement for their sins. Since we do not make these sacrifices and we cannot achieve perfection, how can we be acceptable to the Lord? Thankfully, when we come to God with a contrite heart, He sees us through the perfect blood of Jesus. This is the sacrifice God desires from us—giving up control of our lives to Jesus and living for Him each day.
