Made to be Holy

I've been busy this weekend-

happily making backgrounds.

I love the feel of paint on my fingers

and my son caught me with paint on my face!

I love to think of God, our Father,

as the Master Artist,

creating His masterpieces- YOU and ME!

He shows us the path to LIGHT,

how to become PERFECT!

There certainly are challenges along the way-

pain is inevitable!

But there is JOY at the end of the road!

He wants to make us like Him-

holy, perfect, at peace.

I know I used to be afraid of the word HOLY-

saintly, perfect, what?????

But Holiness is being set apart

for the One who made us for Himself.

It is our NATURAL state of being.

I need only to think of Saint Peter who

denied Christ three times,

and St. Paul who persecuted the Christians

until they were filled with the Holy Spirit

and used their particular gifts, talents

and strengths, and used it up for God.

I too can give God my gifts, talents and strength.

I can give Him my weaknesses too!

He can use ANYTHING we give Him!

Beauty for ashes!

We have got a whole ocean of mercy to wade in

and be cleansed and made holy!

Every week I choose one wonderful visitor

who leaves a comment

to receive an ATC from me.

I know it takes so much time and effort

to leave a comment

and I appreciate it soooo much!
