Giving the pieces away “It is God’s will that you should be sanctified”
I Thessalonians 4: 3a
God wants us to be sanctified. The word sanctified in the Greek means “to be set aside for a purpose”. If you are designated for a purpose, it is reasonable to think that we cannot be giving pieces of our heart away to different other purposes when God has set us a side for his ministry and life in the kingdom. When we give ourselves to someone else whether it be for pleasure or love, physically or in the playground of our minds, we dilute what God is trying to do through us. Within the confines of a Godly relationship, His purpose is being sanctified through you and your partner. Bottom line, God knows the future and where you will be in it. Only our decisions that break that line of communication with our perfect future and our God stand between us and a healthy view of what God demands and following the perfect will for our lives in Christ Jesus.
Scripture I Thessalonians 4: 3-8
Prayer Father, help us to understand that when we reject this teaching that we are rejecting you………..

‘Sanctified through and through,’ the word of God says, complete and unadulterated. I was at the Indy 500 and walking around the thought hit me-why am I here?-this isnt glorifying God in any way-to watch these supercharged go karts zip around this track but then I justified the situation by declaring to my self that God is blessing me. I definately do not want to even start to break the line of communication with God by making any decisions that would do so. Perhaps that epiphany I had at the track was telling me to gear all of my heart towards God and a reminder not to put too much into this Indy racing thing. Blake Shroyer
