Joining the mission of a holy God sounds a little intimidating, if I’m honest. Holy is a heavy word. The completeness of God’s holiness—His through-and-through pureness and awe-invoking presence makes me feel a little like Susan inquiring about Aslan in C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.

“Aslan is a lion–the Lion, the great Lion." "Ooh" said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he—quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion". . . “Safe?" said Mr. Beaver . . . "Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”

I feel small. And inquisitive--drawn to the exploding mystery of One who can simultaneously be good and not safe. So when I try to wrap my head around my purpose from my creation being to join the mission of this holy God, I find it both irresistible and unnerving. Possibly you feel the same.
