Today's Encouragement...

Holiness

"You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy.  I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own."  Leviticus 20:26

Scriptures like that and words like "holy" can be intimidating. Can we even come close to measuring up? Never allow your failures or insecurities to keep your from trying to live a holy life for Christ.  Perfection doesn't make you holy; God does.   

Heavenly Father, we want to stop trying to live a holy life by our own strength.  Give us a humble heart to see You so You can make us holy and pure in Your sight.  In Jesus' name, amen.
