Copied from a pastor's blog.
It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
The emphasis of holiness movements tends to be that God is producing specimens of holiness to put in His museum.
If you accept this concept of personal holiness, your life’s determined purpose will not be for God, but for what you call the evidence of God in your life.
How can we say, “It could never be God’s will for me to be sick”?
If it was God’s will to bruise His own Son (Isaiah 53:10), why shouldn’t He bruise you?
What shines forth and reveals God in your life is not your relative consistency to an idea of what a saint should be....
