Holy & Whole

1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 MSG

May God himself, the God who makes everything holy and whole, make you holy and whole, put you together—spirit, soul, and body—and keep you fit for the coming of our Master, Jesus Christ. The One who called you is completely dependable. If he said it, he’ll do it!

I love these verses from The Message version of the Bible because they sum up in two words; Holy & Whole; everything God wants to do in our lives as we journey with him. All we have to do is be willing to open our hearts to him so he can do his work.

So often we erect elaborate walls between ourselves, God and other people as the result of hurts and disappointments we have experienced, but we need to lower our defences and not be afraid to invite God to take control because everything God wants to do in our lives is motivated by his love.
