What Does Perfect Mean in the Bible Read through 2 lenses

The path of the just is the way of the mind that has chosen love as its teacher, and its light is the growing clarity of forgiveness. Each grievance set down lets a little more brightness through, until seeing the innocence in others becomes not an effort but the natural condition of the mind. The light increases because nothing dims it any longer.

The perfect day is simply a mind with no darkness left in it, no corner still holding a grudge, no brother still seen as guilty. It brightens by degrees because forgiveness is learned one release at a time, and each one makes the next one easier.

• Shining light: the clarity of a forgiving mind, the perception of innocence that grows brighter as grievances are laid down.
• Perfect day: the state of a mind wholly healed, where no shadow of guilt remains and every brother is seen as innocent.

Isaiah "the LORD saves". Seeing and rescue are one event in you; what you finally see is what frees you.

Amoz "strong". Clear sight is fathered by strength. A weak state sees nothing worth writing down.

Judah "praise". The thanking center, where a vision lands before it reaches anything else.

Jerusalem "foundation of peace". The settled ground under the thanking. Peace with a foundation is not a mood.

Uzziah "my strength is the LORD". First stage: power known as given.

• **Jotham** "the LORD is perfect". Second: wholeness, the inner line running true.

• **Ahaz** "he grasps". Third: the hand closes, and a grip is the one position that cannot receive.

Hezekiah "the LORD strengthens". Fourth: strength returns once the hand opens.

• Teaching: sight and rescue arrive together, carried by strength, landing on praise and the founded peace under it, and they move through you in 4 turns: strength known as given, wholeness, the closed grip, and strength restored when the grip lets go.
