Holiness is Calling

When Holiness is Calling

          Do you recognize my voice? Do you understand my language? Or have you never heard or seen such a thing? My name is Holiness and I am calling. I will compromise for nothing. I will take a back seat to not one person. I ride shot gun and I drive. Without me you will die. Your children and their children will parish your wives with you. My name is Holiness and I am calling.

I don’t wear a mask but you could not pick me out of line up. There are pretenders who claim to be holy but will leave you empty. They have even perverted and blasphemed my name and stolen the hearts of many.  When the hopeless empty feeling wakens you rather then turn to me you still had the nerve to turn to other things that aren’t even pretending to be holy. My word says How long will you waiver between two opinions? Holiness is calling.

          In the middle of the day I catch my self hearing Holiness calling. Usually when my mind has wandered into garbageville or toilette city.  A lot of people when given a precocious opportunity to speak on sin or issues of society will try to depersonalize them and speak as if they are not affected by it. First and foremost my heart breaks over my sins.

Holiness is and intimidating thing to think about. See Holiness is without compromise. It doesn’t bend or break a rule to get ahead. It doesn’t cheat on a test. Holiness don’t clock out five minutes early. Holiness works the whole shift. What do I know about Holiness. Well not much. A problem the Body of Christ has in today’s day and age of fast food evangelism is we don’t read the bible any more. There was only one person Holy His name is Jesus. But I have not spent any time actually reading the Gospels. So I read mans version of Holiness and that version leaves me hopeless because we as men are all screwed up. The most integrity filled preacher is a disgusting sinner just like me. Who has lusted perhaps.  But Jesus the embodiment of Holyness doesn’t get studied. His life is glossed over during Easter and Christmas but How much do we know about Jesus. He is Holyness and He is calling. But His calling is Love. It always starts there that much I know. And for those of us who believe His calling is filled with Grace and Mercy.  He is not a standard that we can only fail to achieve. The only way we fail is by not trying.

God is dealing with me once again. The world is in turmoil. Signs or potential signs are being fulfilled everywhere. Yet I have not enough of Jesus in me to share with a lost and dying world. For the next month or two or however long it takes I am going to be on my own personal adventure to get to know Jesus and His Holiness. Because He is calling.
