Holiness [ Hebrews 12 v14 ]

The moment one starts on the narrow road,one is faced with the challenge of living a life of holiness.Holiness what does that word conquer up for you?. Misery sadness,depriving one of joy and happiness. To many the word ,holy has a negative meaning a kill joy meaning,It is not so,my sins brought unhappiness,look out upon the world ,consider that lives that are destroyed by infidelity.Consider the awfulness of habits that destroy us,many people are addicted to so many things,that is causing them harm and hurt.Many think things are the answer,but things do not fill our aching lonely hearts.Consider the damage lies have caused,the awfulness of the
violence,in this world,millions of people are affected by violence,need I go on?Holiness is living a life, of saying no ,those things that can harm us,and
can affect our relationships. Holiness is saying no to so much that is foolish,hurtful, and self centered, it is saying yes to a clear conscience,
being holy is the most positive and fulfilling way to live,and above all else it is pleasing to God.
                                          A  prayer.
Dear God help us to see how vital holiness is and how positive it is,and how pleasing it is to you in Jesus name Amen.
