Holiness

Holiness
“For me holiness is not a state or a condition, like a special badge or suit of clothes I may wear. It's not like a graduate degree or certificate that I earn through study. It's not even an "energy" or a charismatic presence. It is certainly not spiritual celebrity hood. Holiness instead emerges from relationship. It's dynamic. It's a manifestation of what is happening between me and another in the moment. Was Mother Theresa a holy person treating the poor and the ill in Calcutta, or was she a person who was holy while treating the poor and the ill in Calcutta?”~David Spangler
Affirmation:
I experience holiness through deep, loving connections.
Meditation:
Dear God,
I have had many holy moments for which I am thankful; times of incredible connection to You or others.I would like all my relationships to be based on such authentic connection.Show me how live from that incredible place.Prepare my heart for holiness.And so it is.
Amen
