Call to holiness

​God calls all of us to work towards holiness.  This means getting more close to Him, more wiser, more loving, more humbled, more patience and so on.  In doing that, we have to go through some things and tough times because we need to know what’s good for us, we need to know what’s bad for us and we need to know how we’re supposed to handle situations that we encounter.
 
This is why when the storms come, we can’t give up because this is when God is working in our lives.  He’s trying to make us stronger and tougher to handle life.  If we can’t get through small situations, how do we expect to handle tough ones?  Life is not easy but when we’re connected to God the burdens are lifted and life becomes joy even through the bad times.  Have you ever had anyone say to you “How do you do it”? Well with God’s strength, anything is possible. 
 
Working towards holiness, has so many benefits.  We learn how to let go and let God, we gain peace, we gain joy and we’re able to sleep at night.  This is why I say all the time that we don’t have time for nonsense.  Negative behavior brings disruption in our lives and misery.  Even when we try to hide that, it’s still inside because God is love and He said “we’re nothing without Him”. 
 
Ask yourself some questions
Do you want peace in your life?
Are you tired of being tired?
Are you ready to make changes so you can have joy on your journey?
 
If those answers are “Yes” you need to really evaluate your actions, your relationships with others and how you’re looking at life.  Remember, people should have your best interest at heart and if they don’t, you need to have conversations or decisions to make.  I’m not saying not love them but how can you become more holy if you’re dealing with drama?
 
The bottom line is this – God has great plans for you and sometimes we allow situations or others to put a pause on our lives.  Let’s start by asking God to help us to become better and if we need help in an area, seek that and do what we have to do.  Life is short, we don’t know if we’re going to see tomorrow so let’s make the best out of today with the tools, grace and love that God gives to us each and every day.
 
Amen, Amen and Amen.  Thank You Lord.
