Holiness: Dreary or Sweet?

untitled

It is a dreary holiness that is merely resisting sin. The joy of holiness is found in having heard a sweeter song… This is the true meaning of grace. Grace does not demonize our desires nor destroy them nor lead us to deny them. Grace is the work of the Holy Spirit in the transforming our desires so that knowing Jesus becomes sweeter than illicit sex, sweeter than money and what it can buy, sweeter than every fruitless joy. Grace is God satisfying our souls with His Son so that we’re ruined for anything else!
