You can tell that you are becoming more holy if...
the dog pukes on the porch
and then poops in the basement
you misplace $250 in cash
break a gift the same day to purchase it
slip on the ice
get up at 5:30 to pray each day
give your coffee money to someone in need of gas
think good thoughts when you want to be mad
save for a guitar but keep giving the savings away
and still think that you have a very very good like.
There are branches breaking off trees all around us now. The freezing rain and the dormant trees are in battle. It is not a matter of wills, as each one is only doing the very thing it knows to do. Freezing ran falls and trees seek to stand. Conflict. So it is with me. I seek to stand, and the nature of this world just falls. Everything that has not be redeemed to stand, falls. By grace I was redeemed, and by grace I will stand. Understanding this conflict allows me to become more holy, not just react to my fallen world.
