Seek Holiness to Become God's Child


God calls everyone to be his children. He shows no partiality.
However, we reject the calling when we don’t choose holiness.
We cannot say we choose God when we don’t give due importance to righteousness.
We cannot become the children of God, when we don’t seek purity.
God calls us but are we responding to the call by choosing to do what is right?
Even if we don’t have the strength to be perfect, do we at least have the desire to be pure?
God knows that no one is perfect; but, he helps those who are willing to make an attempt.
 
Holiness cannot be achieved by our own strength.
It requires an aggressive surrender to God in every walk of life – in thought, word and deed.
Are we willing to surrender ourselves to God so that he can make us holy?
Are we willing to try to desire holiness so that we can become God’s children?
God is waiting for us. Our life is a test that is made of moral choices.
We may not be able to be perfect; but are we willing to try with God’s help.
Jesus is willing to shape us to perfection if we let him to.
