86] Message eighty-six: you don't need to fix.

p.1—Both perfect and union have a numerical value of 73. The Greek word used for perfect in 2 Corinthians 13-11 is katartizo, which means to be perfectly joined together now. Now can be interchangeable with daily or presently. In the verse katartizo is translated as 'Be perfect.' In the same way Shakespeare says, 'Might we but have that happiness… we should think ourselves forever perfect.' Having a good mind, of course, the author is saying, we should not only be satisfied or contented with what we do, but should see it as being rightly or faultlessly done. [And in the same way with ourselves, of who we are, of what God has created or formed us to be, and the things he gives or provides us with.] My 2016 quotation explains it perfectly; 'Everything I have done, am doing, and will do, I was supposed to.' I'm in union with everything I do, and with everything about me. Even that verse states, be of one mind, which applies not just to being rightly in agreement with others, but being rightly in agreement with ourselves. Notice the verse also says, 'be of good comfort.' Good as in pleasant, and good as in just or right. Be agreeable to God, and God will be agreeable to you. Furthermore, --2 Corinthians 13-11 tells us to live in peace. In order for that to be, we must be good to ourselves, good to others, and others must be good to us. And that is achieved through truth and equality, not slavery or dishonesty. The verse finishes with, 'and the God of love and peace shall be with you.' Katartizo can also be used in the sense of repairing. So if you fix, change, or repair something, that doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong, a mistake, or an error, but may instead mean it was perfectly a part of the process. I'll give you an example: In Message 85, prior to typing it on email, I had 'inquire' as the word used in Psalm 27-4. And while typing the message via email, I wisely gathered that verse from a KJV Bible saved on my computer. I would eventually notice that the word 'enquire' was in the verse.
