May We all Be Seen as Having the Holiness of Jesus, Full of Jesus in All We Do on this Earthly Journey!

I cried unto him with my mouth, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.

⏤ Psalm 66:17-18 

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work. 

⏤ Oswald Chambers

We need to pray and look at the crucified face of Jesus each day asking God to help us be more like the example Jesus gave us all. Also ask for His mercy, we all kill Him with our sin. We need to turn from sin and live holy lives and be people of goodwill while here. Following all laws and commandments, living by the teachings of Jesus, and being people of goodwill, upright, holy, and righteous the best we can. It is not easy, but we need to pray to God for all of this! He promises us a very important and critical future for us when we do. 

In the Mornings with God App today, they said, "We come into Your presence, O great and glorious God, to begin the day at Your feet. Without Your blessing, we dare not go out into the twisting paths of the world. We desire to do good work today. Keep us from being satisfied with commonplace doing of duty; may we do even the least things finely, so as to please You. We desire to live well in our family life. We sometimes fail to do our best in our own home. We grow careless. We do not speak as affectionately as we should do. We are less courteous and kindly than we might be. We do not always give the sweetest things of love to those who are nearest. Teach us, Father, to love at home — and to show our love. Preserve us from all impatience, fretfulness, and irritability in our association as a household, and give us the spirit of love. We desire also to manifest love in all our relations with the world. Give us large charity towards our neighbors. Help us to be like Jesus, who when reviled, reviled not again — who bore injury and insult with meekness and gentleness. May we have the same patient love which He had. If we suffer wrong from others — may we suffer in quietness, without resentment, returning good for evil, kindness for unkindness. May we have the spirit of helpfulness toward all our neighbors. May we be like the good Samaritan to any we find in distress or need. May we be enabled to carry something of the love of Jesus to every life that touches ours. Make us good interpreters of Jesus' divine love and kindness. May our neighbors see in us, the holiness of Jesus. So may our day be one of beauty and grace, full of Jesus and full of good to others. We ask it in the blessed name of Jesus Christ. Amen."

All we can do is ask God for His love, mercy, and forgiveness, to help us live more like Jesus while here on Earth to be loving to all, our family, neighbors, and even enemies. We need to learn to love all, even the sinners, to be examples for them how to live and what is right. We are called! Called to also be examples like Jesus, called to be seen as having the holiness of Jesus within, full of Jesus. We need to live with a full tank of gas of Jesus in us as we go about our journey here always!
