"he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through his death, to present you holy, without blemish, and irreproachable before him, provided that you persevere in the faith, firmly grounded, stable, and not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, am a minister. Christ in Us." Colossians 1:22-23
Christmas 2019 - a call to holiness. Have you stopped and pondered why did God send His Son down to earth? So you could be made holy, the sin of Adam and Eve needed to be removed. We needed to be made without blemish and without fault. Jesus does that for us but we must also hold up our end. Mary and Joesph had to persevere in their trials, they had to continue on their journey to the Father. Holiness isn't acting all pious and mightier than though, the Pharisees did that. Holiness is doing the next right thing and continuing doing what is right each time, to persevere in the faith, You are called to holiness.
What is God saying to me: Listen to My voice and be made holy by My Son, the hope of your salvation.
Dear Father, it has been a beautiful morning with Your encouragement. I thank You for those that you sent with the message of holiness. It is You that forms us by Your Holy Spirit if we would but listen. Prayers for those struggling to persevere may they be given hope to accept the trials as unwanted gifts, but gifts nonetheless. Thank You for preparing me for the day, may we go together through out what it has to offer. Prayers for a friend that is in my thoughts, a holy man who is persevering. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Saints, Pray for us.
