Christmas

At 1 am, I just have the urge to blog about Christmas... Yes, I know it's in a month's time.. but I really can't wait for it...

I have always loved Christmas.. it is really a season of love, joy and hope. Listening to Christmas' songs never fails to put a smile on my face. I could go all day listening to them.. this joy is just unexplainable. a joy that casts every problems away... a joy that comes from Above... a gift i would say..

it is even more powerful when you know the true meaning of Christmas... it's like this amazing, wonderful present that you could ever imagined which it's given without any condition... you just need to believe... having that faith that Christ was born and He was here on earth.. like one of us... but He was pure and holy, gentle and loving.. you can find no one like Him...

How great is that?

Holiness

I have been struck with this word recently. As I was preparing for bible study, God says, "Be holy for I am Holy."

Be Holy! God is telling my to be holy. What does He mean? What is holiness? I wonder.

Does it mean sinless? I doubt so. How can i be sinless? God can't be asking me to be sinless, can He? so, what is sin? I found out that sin in Greek means 'miss the mark'. We are sinners because we can never meet God's mark, God's standard. we sin. it is not just wrongdoing, but missing the mark. So, how can we be holy?

when God says be holy, he means setting apart for Him. That's a revelation to me in a way. i am called to be set apart for Him because He is holy. In this context, because of His character, He is sinless, thus Holy.

next question, am i setting apart for Him in my life right now? it is a struggle.
