Seeking God’s Holiness!

A life of Godliness…I must live by it,

As I'm to be guided by the Holy Spirit.

 I've missed out on God's holy presence.

Not realizing a truly

awesome experience.

At times, I've lived in defeat

and despair.

Wondering if God was still there.

I felt his holy presence for a short time.

But soon allowed discouragement

to enter my mind.

When I took part in an embarrassing action…

my relationship with Jesus

was soon "off traction."

I felt the tug of the Holy Spirit very near.

Speaking; "Run from your sin...for I am here!"

I returned to Jesus-to him I held fast.

God's holy presence was no longer a thing of the past.

May my heart now be steadfast and true.

Help me Lord to always keep my eyes on you.

Help me to focus my attention on your holiness.

For only you can bring contentment

and happiness.

You are truly my best friend..

the shepherd of my soul.

May my life be pleasing to you...

no matter where I may go!
