Called to be holy
The Matthew five way
Living each day
Like Christ
Called to depend
Solely on God in a
World that continually
Screams the opposite at us
Called to mourn for
Sin and evil in a
World where
Everything is relative
Called to be humble
In a world which
Despises humility and
Considers humble
People weak
Called to hunger and
Thirst for righteousness
In a world that encourages fulfillment
Of every desire but that
Called to be merciful
In a world that
Doesn’t know the
Meaning of forgiveness
Or mercy and is all
For vengeance
Called to be pure
In heart in a
Corrupt world
That wants to
See everything
But God
Called to be
peacemakers in
a world that
can accept all
religions but
that of the Son of God
called to be persecuted for
righteousness
sake in a
world where
the persecution
has entered and
comes so subtly
we may not even recognize it
called to be salt and light
called to be different
called to love
called to go the extra mile
called to be citizens
of the kingdom of God
journeying in this evil world
called to live
an impossible kind
of life- a life
we never can
live except for
the grace of God
called to be holy
Father in heaven,
We have heard your
Word. Greant us your
Grace to livethe
Holy life you call
Us to-every waking
Moment of our life

We can do all things through christ who strengthens us. Despite the deteriorating state of the world we live in, as Christians what is in us is greater than what is in the world. We will surely overcome.
