My pursuit of holiness is
My end and beginning
My disaster and mending
My lifetime desire
Ill die before rendering
To Speak of it is much less of an offense than to watch as it
plays out in my life.
Through my expertise in exaggeration I can confidently say that,
“I’m doing great in my walk with God.”
But, it’s like deciding one day to play a classical piece of music.
You may have the melody memorized,
but move your fingers up and down a piano for a while
and you’ll find the reproduction of the familiar sound
is much more complicated than you could have ever anticipated.
However, more ridiculous than Beethoven
to demand a master pianist of me,
is His call on my life to be “Holy as He is”
Reality check.
As long as I dwell in my humanity,
I’d be deceiving myself - and making God a liar-
if I said that my pursuit of Holiness was anything but pathetic.
It’s my greatest passion that I fail at daily.
It’s the light at the end of this never-ending tunnel.
It’s my cookies I forgot in the oven
and my bulletproof jacket the moths ate up in my closet.
It’s my disappointment.
It’s the standard I’ve not kept
And the validity of my need for Him.
Perfect holiness is not a reality that I could possibly attain.
If holiness were the shore then I’d be a floppin fish
gasping in my attempts to find my own way to breath.
HIS DIVINE POWER HAS GRANTED --> TO US <--
ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN TO LIFE AND GODLINESS,
THROUGH THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIM WHO CALLES US TO --> HIS OWN GLORY ANDEXCELLENCE.
BY WHICH HE HAS GRANTED TO US --> PRECIOUS PROMISES <--
SO THAT THROUGH THEM (PROMISES) YOU MAY BECOME
PARTAKERS OF -->THE DIVINE NATURE, <--
HAVING ESCAPED FROM -->THE CORRUPTION <-- THAT IS IN
THE WORLD BECAUSE OF SINFUL DESIRE.
2PT1:3-4
My hope is built on nothing less
...therefore
My pursuit of holiness is
My end and beginning
For I have been crucified with Christ
it’s not longer I who lives but Christ in me.
Gal2:20 My disaster and mending
Make me hear joy and gladness,
that the bones you have broken may rejoice. Ps51:8
But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,
for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2cor12:9
My lifetime desire
“Surely I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Even so, come Lord Jesus.
Rev22:20 Ill die before rendering
To live is Christ to die is gain. Ph1:21
Each note of that classical piece I'm capable
of performing with excellence for the master musician
has embodied me and is playing every note.
And He uses my life to compose a symphony
for the glory of His Holy name.
And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as He is pure.
1jn3:3
