“so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without
fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universe” [[philippians 2:15]]
can’t sleep. this verse popped into my head and heart. it’s so challenging to us as children of God. we are called to be blameless [free from or not deserving blame or guilt] and pure [free from anything different; free from foreign or inappropriate elements; unmodified; without discordant quality; clean, spotless, unsoiled; untainted with evil] in this crooked [deformed; askew; not straightforward, dishonest] and depraved [corrupt, wicked, perverted, sinful] generation. and we are to shine [to give forth or glow light; to appear brightly; to reflect emitted light] like the stars in the nightly heavens. how awesome is that.
