'Called To Be Holy' Poem by Linda Winchell

Holiness happens through the presence of God,
Through this then we are where God wants us all to be,
Unfortunately temptation draws mankind,
To a place where man was never meant to flee.

As children of “Adam”, we never live down,
The powerful impact of his misdeed,
We come to form our own attitude,
One of which is not and far from that of holy.

Because God is holy when He comes near,
His presence makes people crouch in fear,
That their walk and place of holiness will be viewed,
And is very far from what our God wishes to see and endear.
