Holy Spirit help me be holy through and through...

Matthew 23:27-32
 
Jesus faulted the scribes and Pharisees for being truly unholy, for being hypocrites. The homonyms of the word ‘holy’ reveal much about the nature of a human heart fully aligned with its Creator. Related to ‘holy’ are ‘wholly’ and ‘holey’. By inference, if I am holy, it does not mean that I am a religious, pious, and disconnected ‘white-washed tomb’, but rather a ‘whole’ being, not fragmented but integrated, not dis-associative but congruent, not unstable but unshakable, one who is holistic and connected, both inside and outwardly.  Additionally, if I am holy it means that I am ‘holey’, that is, I have enough ‘holes’ of weakness, humility, and not knowing in my being that the wind of the Holy Spirit can blow through me, sweeping away dust and ashes, and infusing my soul with God’s fragrance of life and love. Am I full of corruption or can I imagine being holy in heart, mind, soul and strength? Holy Spirit, help me be holy through and through.
                                                                              
You have searched me and know me, Lord.   (Psalm 139:1)
 
There are only two kinds of people: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, "All right, then, have it your way."
