God Requires Holiness!
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

God Asks For Holiness!



 



I read of my God’s love!



His righteousness and glory.



I also read of a God who’s



 awesome and holy.



 



Without holiness, no man shall



 approach his throne.



If one day you expect to make



heaven your home.



 



When it comes to holiness...



many have their interpretation.



It's the sincerity of the heart



 that get's God's attention.



 



Many in church have made



the idea of holiness a “fatality”.



As they chase things that



are mere vanity!



 



It's what goes into your heart that



pollutes our eternal soul.



The blood of Christ needs to cleanse



 and make us whole!



 



When we totally fall in love with



Jesus and lay at his feet.



It'll be our hunger for his



 righteousness that'll be sweet!



 



Then an appetite for God's



holiness in us will arise.



A desire for God's beauty



 shall captivate the eyes.



 



It's only in Christ alone where



 we find true treasure.



We won't want the things anymore



 that once gave us pleasure.



 



Holiness from God is ours!



Just for the asking.



It’ll lead us into a life that’s



 complete and everlasting!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
