2 Corinthians 10:5

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV)

We cannot  trust our human understanding and desires.  Real holiness (set apart) is a willed holiness- while it isHis good work that makes us Holy we must surrender our will to the work.   We must talk less about ourselves and more of Jesus.  A true inner longing to be more and more like Jesus !!!
