increase mine to that of Yours.
Christ had and has perfect vision. Help
me to have eyes to see.
Christ had and has perfect hearing. Let
me have ears to hear.
Christ had and has perfect love. Let me
love as He loves me.

Christ was always doing and is doing
the will of His Father. Let me prove your acceptable and perfect will.
Shall He not give us all things-
pardon, peace, purity, and power, all His promises? See Jude 24
