A holy night
When God spoke
Let there be light

Christ is the spirit of God
And the spirit of God is holy
Truth broken into pieces
Veiled by a multitude of faces

Romans 8:14
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.”
I Corinth 2:12
“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God…”
Death is powerful
It moves us
The death of one
Moved all of us
From the temporal
To the eternal
From the unholy
To the holy
It shifts our entire
Field of vision
We are called
Out of the world
Into the Spirit
When the unholy
Enters the holy
It is made holy
I Thessalonians 4:7
“For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.”
Romans 8:9
“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit…”
If we think
That God
Would see us
As less than he is
We are not holy
We are made holy
By the blood of Christ
Hebrews 10:10
“By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.”
I Peter 1:16
“Be ye holy, for I am holy.”
Hebrews 12:14
“Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.”
We become like he
Who made the image
Through the image he made
And that image is holy
Genesis 1:27
“So God created man in his own image…”
I Peter 1:16
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
I John 3:2
“…when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.”
Art: The Holy Spirit by Waiting for the Word
If we see ourselves
As other than holy
We are unholy
And have forgotten
Our place
And who we are
I Peter 1:16
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
Like the anchor
Of a ship
We are the
Time-bound soul
Of the infinite
Timeless Spirit
Psalm 103:31
“Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.”
Who are the holy ones?
They are all holy
There is only one sinner
One who is made whole
Through her sin
By the grace of God
I Peter 1:16
“Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
In one instant
I was filled with joy
Overcome with love
All at once
That moment
Of reality
When it dawned
On me
That I was
Someone other
Than who
I appeared to be
