LIFE OF HOLINESS

In Matthew 7:6, the Lord said,  "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you.


Holiness is a treasure that can not be measured nor be bought by any material wealth. It is a gift from God that you earned over time. It is a way of life that is given to few that requires a lot of sacrifice. To be holy is to aspire heaven while living on earth, going beyond all that the world offers. Besides, life is not only limited to our existence on earth but it goes far beyond than that. How we choose to live for all eternity depends on how we look at life today.

Life is hard and you must face this reality. The world can offer you shortcuts but this would only lead you to more problems in the end. What matters is the peace that the Lord brings so that as you battle the challenges that life brings in the world, you can still rejoice and be glad knowing that God is in your side.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, be with me always as I face the hard life that the world brings. 

In You, I have found my peace. There is much joy in my heart every time I could experience Your presence in me for You are my Lord and my Savior. You are the holiness in me manifested by Your Spirit that dwells within me. 

I take courage in You as I battle these challenges that is in my midst today with the hope that in the end, You will give me the victory that I seek by way of succeeding in attaining all of my dreams and desires for an abundant and prosperous life here on earth. I give You back all the glory and praises now and forever. Amen.
