Sanctification
"Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the nature that controled him will control us."
This is not just, what would Jesus do? This is what would Jesus think. Far beyond any dream of our comprehension lies what Jesus thinks, sanctification. But, this is grace, the Holy Spirit intervenes to sanctify us. He is a pair of glasses that we put over our frail eyes to see the world as God sees it, not as a human but beyond. In this way, the Holy Spirit allows us to be a part of things we do not understand. He allows us to see things and experience life in a way that our minds are unable to fully grasp. This stepping with the Spirit is sanctification.
It seems that there are moments of it in our lives and that our road of faith is to seek the Holy Spirit, to seek sanctification. If we eagerly seek it, Jesus promised that the doors to all the mysteries of God will be open. Regardless of if we understand them or not.
Today my prayer is thus to see life as Jesus does, not through my own understanding which is littered with fears and prejudice and limitations, but through his which is eternal and spiritual. How though can we hope to hold on to an understanding which is beyond our capacity? How can we remain in the spiritual as we live in the physical? How can we remain sanctified when we are flawed and human?

through grace and keeping ourselves in an environment that leads itself to that. Associating with people who encourage us to do that.
Lord gives us environment to see with your glasses
Amen Sara!
