checkit:
But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do.
- Peter ( 1 Peter 1:15 )
Now that's what I'm talkin' about! Straight TRUMPING the status quo! There aren't many peeps willing to take on this most worthy of challenges. Why? Shoooot, because it's HARD kid! I mean come on, being holy.... in all you do? Do you know how many times a day the average person does something not all that bad, but not holy either? Do you know how many times a day you do it? We all snub righteousness daily in very small ways and almost always unconsciously!
So how can we rise above the average person? How can we trump the status quo? How can we live a life that is tremendously fulfilling and an inspiration to many? It's simple potnas... just follow the mandate! Heh heh. Just as Pops above is holy, so we should be holy in ALL that we do. That takes two things.
First, it takes trusting Pops to give you the strength and the courage to be holy in all that you do. Cuz potnas, without Pops holding us up and ushering us forward, we will SURELY.... that's right people SURELY fail in any endeavor to be holy in all that we did. Why? Cuz we are naturally inclined to do things that are not holy. Why? Cuz it is straight EASY to be unholy, especially in the small things. It doesn't put you out there; there's no standing out nor the possibility of being alone in standing out. Thus, without Pops, you might as well pack up and go home because it will be impossible to be holy in all that you do. But WITH Pops, it's easy.
Second, we've got to change our thought patterns. We've got to pay attention to everything that we do and be of the mindset, "Am I being holy in what I am about to do and how I will go about doing it?" We gotta take that brief pause and run that quick assessment. We gotta do it in the work place among colleagues, bosses, and the things we do to perform our jobs. We gotta do it right before we make that deal. We gotta do it in our friendships. We gotta do it when interacting with our wives, husbands, boyfriends or girlfriends. In ALL that we do bruthaz and sistaz.
So why be holy? Why go through that? Potnas, there is no challenge in being unholy! I say to you, why then waste you time and your very life doing things that do not grow you or challenge you? Once a moment in time passes by, it is gone forever, NEVER to be here again. You might as well go for broke and shoot for being holy! At least that way you'll be investing your time for a HUGE return. What kind of return am I talking about? A character and integrity to die for! To be more than average. To accomplish something significant. To be that person everyone loves, trusts, and desires to emulate or become. To elevate and to hold friendships and significant relationships with such depth and realism revealing to you life in all its monumental glory, as Pops originally created it. So that Pops himself can brag about you saying, "That's my dawg! Did you see that? Homie didn't even FLINCH kid! Here, take these blessings my son, my daughter!" I can go on and on, but I think you get the picture.
Let's get to trumping the status quo. Let's be DONE with being average and strive to achieve greatness! Shoot, let's blast open the doors behind which life in all its fullness may be experienced! Are you ready for that whirlwind!? It's like living on the edge. Can you feel the rush? Be holy my homies, in all that you do.
G-bless,
