Treasures out of the Darkness

So I have been thinking about holiness again. For those who know me, I am fully aware of how often I come back to this topic! As one whose spiritual gifts are prophecy, discernment and exhortation, I am inclined to believe that is the reason why this topic is close to my heart! Anyway, I have spent this week in prayer and study only to find that the closer I get to God, the more aware I am of my own shortcomings! You see, the closer we come in proximity to God and his purity and glory, even our most “holy” actions will look dingy in the light of His holiness. Those things that we may have convinced ourselves were for God, will suddenly appear quite selfish. I am becoming aware that I may be blessed with many gifts but if my character does not reflect Jesus, than I am merely a clanging cymbal; harsh and abrupt. I am increasingly aware of my need to saturate my self in His presence, in order to become like Him.

There will be more to come on this topic later… I am still taking a bit of a spiritual beating from my heavenly daddy! : )
