1 Peter 1:15-16
"But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: 'Be holy, because I am holy'"
Today as I was thinking about how I am anything but holy, and how on earth I am ever supposed to be holy, and I was asking God what he wanted, where I was supposed to be, what I was supposed to do, how am I to follow Him, where is He leading me.
The question came to me, but why do I need to be holy?? Why would God ask me to do that??because I can't be holy....no matter how hard I try it's just not possible.
As I was asking myself, and God these questions it was like God gently whispered to me:
"Excuse me, but it's not about you, it's about ME, for I AM holy, I am Mighty, I am worthy, I am beyond your wildest dreams, I am beyond anything you can imagine, I am everything you know, and everything you don't know, and everything you can't know and everything you can only imagine and everything you fail to imagine, I am so far beyond everything you have ever seen, heard, felt, imagined or dreamed; and it's all about Me."
So why does God want us to be holy?
Is it to prove to him that we are now worthy? -nope, God already did that, we ARE worthy because of what Christ did.
Well, than it must be so that others look at us and say, "wow, look at how good that guy is, I wish I could be like him" --Not exactly.
This is what I think God wants from us when he says "be holy for I am holy"
-that people will look past/through us and say "WOW, He (GOD) is Holy, I wish I could be like Him!"
"So be holy in all you do"--to God be the Glory
