          “Holiness of life is so rare on the earth.  It takes time, silence, and solitude to grow in holiness.  There is no silence or solitude on earth except on the sickbed or at death’s door.  How sad at the moment of death to realize you were never alone with God getting to know Him! 

          To remain silently in God’s presence is the path to a holy life on earth.  Without time in God’s holy presence, it is impossible to live a holy life.  The world devours its inhabitants with everything that appeals to the senses.  There is a fear of solitude and silence.  It appears empty and meaningless to mankind.  That is why My ways are not your ways.  I see everything differently.  My world is another realm, something your humanity cannot understand unless there is spiritual revelation and illumination.  It is not your acquired knowledge on earth that helps you grow in holiness.  It is the silent times of revelation when God diffuses Himself into your heart.  That is when you truly come to know God – in the stillness alone before Him.

           Who takes the time to spend time alone with God in this fast-paced life?  Very few.  But those that do are greatly blessed.  That is the secret of life that so few have found – the pearl of great price – capturing God’s heart in the silence. 

          The angels wait in a holy hush when a purified soul sits patiently before God Most High.  They fold their wings in adoring prayer before this meeting of flesh and Spirit.  God has so highly favored men to impart His divinity to them, the Holy Spirit’s embrace.  He has not done this with the angels.  God became a human, which mystified the angelic hosts.  In wonderment, they beheld God become man on earth.  What dignity was conferred on humankind!  How Satan destroys the dignity of man incessantly.  Satan hates and despises human beings because they are a receptacle of God’s image.  If only they knew the possibilities of allowing God to manifest Himself on earth through their lowly bodies of earth dust. 

          Let God fill your earthly body with His glory.  Radiate God’s presence on earth by allowing Him to live His holy life in you.  It is His work to make you holy.  It is impossible for you, but with God, all things are possible.”
