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
