Promise 16 from Leviticus 20:26

Lev. 20:26 - "'Thus you are to be holy to Me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have set you apart from the peoples to be Mine.'" - What does every parent want to see of their children? First thing they look for, after the baby pops out, is if it is breathing, then if it has all its parts; if it is moving and then if it will eat. As it grows up, if it is developing well; learning at the same level or higher as the other kids; they want to see success in school, in sports, in relationships and they want their child to be good, respectful, honourable and most parents would probably admit that they would like to see their child excel and stand out above all the rest. If that is the desire of an earthly parent, just think how much more it is the desire of the Heavenly Father for His children to be healthy and excel above all the rest. He, Himself said that He has set His people, children apart unto Himself. He has hand picked and chosen His children, the one's He wants to adopt into His Kingdom. Our holiness is not for the sake of man, and not ever for ourselves but it is for our Heavenly Father, He not only desires it but commands it. Bill Johnson from Bethel church, Redding, CA defined holiness as, "the beauty and the wonder of God's nature on a person." I just love that, our holiness means that we are clothed with His righteousness. We take on His DNA! How much do you look like your Heavenly Daddy?
