 February 28, 2023 - Called to Holiness  "Do what I tell you; live what I tell you.  I am God.  Don't desecrate my holy name.  I insist on being treated with holy reverence among the People of Israel. I am God who makes you holy and brought you out of Egypt to be your God.  I am God. "  Leviticus  22: 31-33.

A key concept for me in this reading was that the opposite of being holy is common, profane, or worldly.    Instead we should strive to be whole, healthy, and truly alive.  We can do this by 'actively living out HIs love in the world around us.'   If we look around us, or if we listen to the media or spend too much time on social media, we can be pulled into that world of being common, proface, and worldly.  It is really important to remember to ground ourselves in the word of the Lord and remember to follow Him. 

Life-Giver, show me how to be truly holy, separated from all that is broken and dying within me and around me, so that I can live and love for You alone.  Amen.
