Daily Thoughts - Into the deep

"The Lord said to Moses: Speak to the whole Israelite community and tell them: Be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy." Leviticus 19:1-2
"God said", Moses was a holy man, his life was no longer his as it belonged to God. God had revealed Himself to Moses within his life and Moses had received forgiveness from God and from himself.
What did God do for us? He sacrificed His Son so we might have eternal life. What does it mean to be holy? To sacrifice self for another, God did this, Moses did this when he acted upon what was said and told the Israelites what God said. (This is where forgiveness of self steps in, for the knowledge that God has forgiven me and (I) gets out of the way of God)
"Jesus replied, "The first is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."" Mark 12:29-31. Moses demonstrates the Love of God by giving what he has been given so another may come to understand the depth of Love God has for us.
"Dear Lord, I thank you with profound gratitude for the countless blessings in my life, even for the ones that I don't ask for. Enlighten me daily becoming more aware of those blessings and to be grateful for them. Help me to see that life is a gift and that You are active in my life day and night, especially when I am unaware of your presence when life gets hard, or burdens weigh me down. May I be filled with a grateful heart and always rejoice in your goodness. Amen!" (God is so good when we respond to Him, give what He gives you so another may come to know the love of Christ within)

Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
