No one drifts towards holiness

No one drifts toward holiness.

The human heart, left to wander, does not naturally rise—it sinks. It drifts toward compromise, dressing it up as tolerance. It drifts toward rebellion, calling it freedom. And when conviction knocks, when truth presses against the conscience, pride bristles. Defensiveness flares. Anger rises—not against sin, but against those who refuse to rename it.

Confidence in truth stands unshaken, but conviction in error is easily provoked. The guilty heart resents the mirror that exposes its stains.

Holiness is not found in passivity. It is not the result of effortless wandering, but of intentional pursuit. The world whispers, “You do you,” promising a freedom that leads only to chains. But God calls, “Be holy, for I am holy,” offering a holiness that leads to true freedom and joy.

Drifting is easy. Holiness takes effort. But only one pleases God.
