Holiness

"Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy" [Leviticus 19:2b]. Holiness is a theme of Leviticus. In the bible holiness means "set apart", "consecrated" or "dedicated" to God's use.

In the BSF class, we were challenged, "If you love God, be holy". Are you stealing? You are stealing when you spend office hour to check personal email or cheating in putting car park’s coupons. We are to set apart to do God's work.

My heart was bothered by the word ‘holiness’. When I was in the fellowship, there was a song about holiness, I skipped the words ‘holy, set apart’ in the song.

After sharing about my burden, a sister in Christ told me this verse [Philippians 4:13] I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Then I understand if i was holy I don't need God and I would be very proud person. Nobody is perfect hence to be holy I need God, I cannot do it myself.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. [1 John 1:9]

Let’s set apart our ears to listen carefully to God’s words, our hands to be devoted to God’s works and our feet to be directed constantly to walking in God’s ways.

Her World

In a saloon, I enjoyed my world being served with a tea while having hair cut and holding a magazine called Her World.

This famous magazine is so closed to hearts of most women’s desire, dream, excitement and heartbreaking stories. A regretful story of a married woman bore a baby of her colleague after one night stand. A gloomy story of a young woman worked in night club for extra money in support of her obsessed of branded stuff.

Her world is real world things, everything under the sun and moon. There were many temptations under the roof or above it. I was sad as I read further, a song enlightened me and reminded me to whom I should turn to.

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me

And nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Now I will not forget Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Please be my guide and hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. [Psalm 119:105]

Radiant

"Do you want to look radiant?" A salesgirl approached me in a shopping centre. "Sure! Every lady dreams to look radiant", I whispered in my heart. As she read my mind, she stepped forward offering me something on her hand and said firmly "Try our product, surely you look radiant everyday".

You might have heard about or encountered the similar situation. Do you really think the product can make you radiant? Well, each product may work differently for each person. If the product does work, can it possible prolong everyday, forever?

King David said in Psalm 34:4-5:" I sought the LORD, and he answered me, he delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the LORD. [Exodus 34:29].

Do you want to be radiant? It’s easy and free! Speak to God! God is always there for you.
