September 27: Ezekiel 5-6; Psalm 72; 1 John 2

But you have been anointed by the Holy One....

These are words I need to hear today.  I need to be reminded that I have been set apart by God.  Set apart not because I am more special than anyone else, but set apart so that all may be set apart.  Being anointed isn't about a small inclusive circle so that I can lord my "holiness" over others.

We are anointed in our baptism so that we might become a shining light.  A light that attracts.  A light that shines for others to see and know what goodness is---God is good.  And in Him there is no darkness at all.

God is counting on us to know and act in ways that say: I am anointed........come, and be anointed too!
