LIVING HOLINESS EVERY DAY
LIVING HOLINESS EVERY DAY
When we think of HOLINESS=
It often makes us think
Of an OVERLY PIOUS person
Who is maybe neither GOOD
For heaven or earth
Holiness is really NOT that way=
It IS just having a CERTAIN
Set of principles=PRAYING=doing good=
And LIVING out of LOVE
“Be HOLY=for I=the LORD=am holy” Leviticus 19:2
LIVE HOLINESS every day=let it BE
A PART of your life
Some of the holiest people that I know
Are DOWN to earth=good people=
LIVING GOOD LIVES
And it certainly is NOT walking around
Saying=”PRAISE THE LORD”
All the time
What happens=when you ENGAGE with a
Truly holy person=is that you SHARE your
Thoughts and ideas=and you do so
WITHOUT JUDGING OTHERS
DOING the right thing=becomes
ORDINARY=when you=
Are living holy lives
And reading the bible=and praying=
Becomes part of your daily living=
As well as GOING to MASS or to CHURCH
AS often as possible
“Let them praise your great
And AWESOME NAME---------
He is HOLY” Psalm 99:3
“The fear of the Lord
Is the BEGINNING of wisdom
And knowledge of the HOLY ONE
Is understanding” Proverbs 9:10
“The angel answered=
'The HOLY SPIRIT will come
On you
And the power of the MOST HIGH
Will overshadow you
So the holy one to be BORN
Will be called
The SON OF GOD” Luke 1:35
Of course=NONE of us
Will lead holy lives
Like Jesus
But we can EMULATE HIM=and LIVE
His principles of LOVE and forgiveness
In CONJUNCTION with who we are and
HOW we live our lives
LIVING HOLINESS with an ordinary
Life=is possible=And being down
To earth too
WHEN we are living holy lives=
We are concerned about JUSTICE=
And we are living GOD'S COMMANDMENTS
In TUNE with our fellow man
And we promote and support life=
And REVERENCE and HONOR others=
We respect others
We PRAY TOGETHER for
The NEEDS of the world
HOLINESS can be just that=an
ORDINARY WAY of living=and it is
A life that LEADS to JOY
“The Lord is my strength
And my shield
My heart TRUSTS in him
And he HELPS ME
My heart LEAPS for JOY
And with my song
I PRAISE HIM” Psalm 28:7
Get CLOSE to God=get close
To JESUS=live HOLINESS EVERY DAY
Of your lives and in
An ORDINARY WAY
In the names of Jesus and HIS most GLORIOUS LOVING FATHER
