Be Holy

Be Holy…

Good morning to everyone!!!

Today, let’s find encouragement in the call to holiness found in 1 Peter 1:16, reminding us of the high standard God sets for His children.

For it is written: ‘Be holy, because I am holy.’
1 Peter 1:16

Holiness. It’s a word that can seem daunting, even unattainable. We see our flaws, our mistakes, and wonder how we could ever be holy. But holiness isn’t about achieving perfection on our own; it’s about reflecting God’s heart in our daily lives.

Just as a mirror reflects an image, we are called to reflect God’s holiness in our thoughts, words, and actions. This doesn’t mean striving for flawlessness by our strength but rather surrendering to God’s transformative power. It’s about letting Him shape us, mold us, and refine us daily.

Holiness is a journey, not a destination. It’s a daily commitment to walk in step with the Spirit, pursue purity, and live in a way that honors God. Each day presents new opportunities to grow more like Christ, to let His light shine through us in a world that desperately needs hope and love.

So today, let’s embrace the call to holiness with joy and determination. Let’s not settle for mediocrity or compromise. Instead, let’s strive to live lives that reflect God’s character, bringing His light and love into every corner of our world.

Father God, today I come to You, aware of my flaws and mistakes. I’m grateful that holiness isn’t about my own perfection but about reflecting Your heart in my daily life. Please help me surrender to Your transforming power, shaping and molding me each day. Guide me to walk in step with Your Spirit, pursuing purity and living in a way that honors You. Fill me with joy and determination to reflect Your character, spreading Your light and love in every corner of my world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness, no one will see the Lord.  Hebrews 12:14

Holiness is not the way to Christ; Christ is the way to holiness. You don’t work your way to the way. He is the way.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
