You shall be holy; for I am holy." Notice the reason given. Not "so I will accept you," not "or…You shall be holy; for I am holy." Notice the reason given. Not "so I will accept you," not "or else." God points to himself. Holiness is family resemblance, the slow work of a child growing to look like the Father who called him.
And Peter says "in all your behavior." Not just the praying part. The tired part too.

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Paul lists what belongs to his own people: "whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the…Paul lists what belongs to his own people: "whose is the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the service, and the promises." Every gift, and still he weeps for them. It stops me. You can grow up surrounded by holy things, Bibles, hymns, church, and still hold Christ at arm's length. Privilege is not the same as surrender.
Father, even now you call me back, and I come. Not with a tidy heart, but a torn one. Take…Father, even now you call me back, and I come. Not with a tidy heart, but a torn one. Take my tears, my hunger, my regret, and do what only you can do with them. I turn toward you with everything I have left.
Paul says, "you have no need that one write to you," and then writes anyway. That's love for you. But…Paul says, "you have no need that one write to you," and then writes anyway. That's love for you. But notice where the real lesson happens: "you yourselves are taught by God to love one another." Not a lecture, a quiet rewiring of the heart. Who has God been teaching you to love lately, someone you'd rather avoid?
Thank You, Father, that it is not Your will that one of these little ones should perish. You count the…Thank You, Father, that it is not Your will that one of these little ones should perish. You count the one who wanders off and go looking. Thank You for the times You came after me when I strayed, and would not let me be lost.
He brought us out from there, that he might bring us in." God did not rescue Israel just to leave…He brought us out from there, that he might bring us in." God did not rescue Israel just to leave them standing free in the wilderness. The exodus had a destination. So does yours. Whatever He pulled you out of, ask what He is bringing you into. Freedom from is only half the story He is telling.
