We know we are not perfect. So, why do we expect others to be?
You, therefore, must be perfect (growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity) as your father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48.
Perfection involves growing. Getting along with people, loving them, keeping peace and staying out of anger is something we have to continue to work at.
We make mistakes and we grow from them.
John 2: 24 Jesus for his part, did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all men (human nature).
Do not entrust every detail in your life to everyone. We don't know what causes people to act or react the way they do to some things. We don't know what childhood pain or adult disappointment they have suffered. We must be careful who we allow into our hearts and into our lives.
