There is glory in holiness—never shame. The enemy would have you believe that holiness is oppressive and restricting, something to hide away in the prayer closet but never to shine in the world. The enemy would have you betray your conscious, go against your convictions, and live in sin because you are too ashamed to stand up for what is right and just.
Holiness is part of your redemption, and it is always motivated by love.
You are never too far gone to outrun God’s love The muck and mire of life may humble you, but it also should inspire you to move out in holiness. To be holy is to be cleansed, with a grace so strong that it shatters shame.
Be careful what thoughts you listen to—the shameful lies or the grace-filled truth—because one will hold you in bondage, while the other will set you free.
The truth of grace empowers you to live in powerful holiness. It transforms your character, which therefore transforms your actions. You have been given the Holy Spirit not only to guide you and teach you…but also as a literal spirit of holiness residing within you every moment of every day.
You can always rise above to the highway of holiness, no matter what bumps along the way.
Sear His Holiness into your view. Let it convict, let it burn, let it purify, let it be intense. Let it transform every area of your mind, your heart, your soul, your words, your actions, your life. Let it be a reminder that you are not common, and your citizenship belongs in Heaven.
Walk illuminated by the glory of His presence, shining in His holiness.
