I will protect you from anything that makes you unclean.
1 THESSALONIANS 4:7 (MSG)
God hasn’t invited us into a disorderly, grungy life but into something holy and beautiful—as beautiful on the inside as the outside.
THE ESSENCE
God calls us and equips us for holy living.
DAILY FODDER
Holiness is about living an out-of-the-ordinary life that is dedicated to the service of God. It's about taking his expectations and priorities into account before we decide to follow our own ambitions.
PRAYER
God, in your holiness you have no peers but you invite lesser beings to relate to you as friends and partners. To do this well we've got to adjust how we naturally do things. I confess that I don't like changes that mess with my routine and identity. Help me to find my new identity in your holiness. It's a gift already given. That's who you are. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
