Funny thing about being Holy is that I never feel holy. Oh, sure one might say that I am made righteous and therefore Holy by the blood of Christ. I understand that concept as a truth in my head, but often I find that it is difficult for God’s people to truly feel it in their hearts and feel it in their day to day lives. Yet when we fall into sin, despite the crimson of our sin we miraculously find that we are pure. Incredible, the scriptures attest that though are sins are as scarlet, Christ through the Cross makes us as white as snow. So when we are cut off by that inconsiderate driver or have a moment when our loved one drives us crazy, when we feel that the world is out to get us and frustrations creeps its ugly head yet still by the blood of Christ we are Holy to the Lord. Though we live with a sinful nature we also have the Holy Spirit. The Holy in the Holy Spirit, is something that is given to us, becomes a part of us and glory, though in no way produced by ourselves and in no way are we deserving, yet the Holy and the Glory is powerfully with us. So it is not a matter of whether we need to be Holy to have Holiness, but it is a matter of having Holiness and needing to daily hold onto the gift of Holiness God has given us. God’s Holiness is present with us always, Praise be to God. Amen.
