transformed. The Presence of an Almighty God has stirred in my soul. The
Creator of all things, the inventor of love, has looked me in the eyes and
echoed through the canyons of my being.
The enemy of good is apathy. I am pretty good at not being evil. Apathy is my
Enemy.
eternally available? It is really stupid. I chose my flesh. I chose
superficiality. I chose disobedience. I chose passivity. I walk through my

away from the Presence of the Holy because of my concern with myself.
I want a radical faith.
Good is too achievable. Great is too fathomable. I want to walk
in Holy.

be defined by Holy.

want to push past the quicksand of my own story, I want to shed the shackles of
my hang-ups. I want to move past the parameters of my story; break through the

rise up. Stop fighting for self approval; stop justifying our apathy; stop

You are Sovereign, supreme, forever. You are Grace and Love, Mercy and
Kindness, Beauty and Strength. You are Holy. You are my King, my identity, my
truth, my goal, and my hope.
step up to Your Holy. I proclaim the celebration of your Holy.
