Sharing His Holiness
Hebrews 12:9-17
9Morever, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them
for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our spirits and life!
10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God
disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness.
11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it
produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by
it.
12 Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.
13 "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather
healed.
Avoiding Esau's Bitterness
14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no
one will see the Lord.
15 See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
16 See that no one is sexually immortal, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son.
17 Afterward, as you know, when he wanted to inherit this blessing, he was rejected. He could bring about no change of mind, though he sought the blessing with tears.
My Diary for QT today:
I think that I want to listen to God more for His discipline because I don't know what I need most... Well, God of course but inside the world, I don't. I love to pray to Him when my mom gets mad and looses control or when Timothy or Silas gets sick...
But I don't like praying for myself...
I do pray for my dad...
But I want to pray for me too...
I don't think all I want can be possible, if I'm not caring or trusting God... Because I sometimes don't pray to Him because I think I don't need it...
Then, I feel guilt, then next day..
SAME...
And so, I want to make effort to live in peace with men and to be holy too...
Like, sometimes my jelousy takes me away from myself...
Like I have a thinking of.. Why do they get that more or better when I'm the one that does this more? or
What can I do to make myself better?
This makes me hurt inside later because my body gets mad...
But I do trust God most of the time because He is my Creator..
He knows everything about me... Inside AND out...
*Think*

My brain Structure

What are my priorities for now?
Check it out for yourself.
Please write it down underneath...
Mine are:
1. Stress...
It's not a priority, but it gets painful and I get dizzy when I get too much of it.
2. Wordly stuff
Ahhhhh
phones,computers, friends...
These attack me from being with God..
3. Worries
This is my priority because I get worried that this might happen that's bad then, that!!!
Then I blame it on God.. Shameful
4. God and Jesus Christ

Precious Heidi,
Thank you for shaing your thought.
I like your writing because it reflects your being honest to yourself and others.
Your sincere desire to know God and to be what God wants you to be makes me feel encourged.
Please, keep sharing your prayer and concern; and at least some of us will pray for you.
God bless you, Heidi.

v. 14 "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no
one will see the Lord."
But, just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; for isd is written: "Be holy, becasue I am holy." 1 Peter 1:15; Leviticus 19:2
I think we can understand better how God would discipline us if we understand what is the disicipline for. I believe God disciplines us because He wants us to become holy as He is.
Then comes a question: "What is holiness?"
The word "holy" could mean many things like being separated, uniqueness, purity, ggoodness, etc.
For example God calls us Holy People because we belong to Him, that is, we are different.
Indeed God set us apart from other wordly people.
If I have to define holiness in one definite words, i would say "Beling holy means to love God and others."
How do I know?
First of all, Jesus Christ is the holiest person ever lived and His life is defined as most loving person ever lived. Second, every time
second, when God gave all the commands (read Leviticus 18-20) and elsewhere, His goal was to make His people becoming holy. And Jesus summarized all those commands in two things: love God and love your neighbor.
Such being the case, God's goal in discipling us is to help us become holy - to be like HIm - is to transform us to love God more and love our neighbors more. Therefore, I would say, any process, painful or not, involved in bringing us to kneel down before Him and getting us closer to other brothers and sisters is how God discipline us.
