 >Just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
 >for it is written:  "Be holy, because I am holy."
 >     --1 Peter 1:15-16
 >       New International Version

 >THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY'S VERSE...
 >    "Holy" is one of those words we generally associate with the
 >"stained glass ghetto" -- a word only "church folks" use.  That
 >may be true, but it's still a great concept.  Every kid knows
 >that you don't eat hot dogs and potato chips on china.  Mom's
 >china is reserved for "special company" or "special occasions."
 >  Hot dogs are for paper plates and every day, china is for
 >special events.  When God is calling us to be holy, he's
 >calling us to be china -- something special just for him, and
 >as Peter emphasizes, just like him.
 >
 >MY PRAYER...
 >    Holy Lord, God Almighty, I come before you knowing how great
 >the distance is between your holiness and my commonness.  I
 >thank you for making me holy through the sacrifice of Jesus and
 >by sending your Holy Spirit to live inside of me.  Please
 >receive my life today as a holy offering to you.  Through
 >Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith, I pray.  Amen.
