Quotes about Holiness

We are in the world, but the world is not to be in us.

We are able to become lovers of God because He already accepts us. We may think we know ourselves, but when we do not accept ourselves, we only prove how little we understand. What a tragedy!

When we understand this fully, we will walk in holiness and be altogether healed.
