Welcome!



I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.

September 1 - Destined to be Holy

Lord, I am unholy.
That comes as no surprise.
The holiness I strive for,
I pray I'll recognize.

It's holiness unsullied
By any taint or sins.
Atonement through the cross of Christ
Where holiness begins.

Putting all my thoughts and words
Under Your own scrutiny,
As You help me demonstrate
Your holiness in me.
jj/10


Holiness is something that God wants for us, which, like salvation, He makes available to us.  When we know Jesus as our Savior, we open the door to holiness.  It is a matter of trying to be more like Christ.
