Holy is wholly

I've been struck lately by the meaning of the word holy. It is used before the word Bible, as the divine writings of my God. It is used to describe men and women who seek God continually. It is an adjective in front of the land that Jacob claimed for God's chosen people. But in our English language it has a homonym; another word sounding like it but spelled differently. Consider the word wholly. As I sat here for a while I noticed that the word wholly is never used in connection to those who serve God and seek His will for their lives. I looked up the word wholly in the online dictionary. It remarked people often confuse it with other words like HOLY. This is just me thinking out loud but I don't think this is a mistake.

The definition states: whol-ly adverb: entirely; totally; altogether; to the whole amount. I cannot imagine a word that demonstrates what we must do to be HOLY. We must give ourselves entirely, totally, to the entire amount of our being in order to even be considered holy. To serve our HOLY Lord, I must give all of my being; not part of me one day and more or less the next simply because I had a bad day, late start, no time to pray, or ____________ (fill in excuse here).

Instead, I seek to be complete in God and then I will be wholly His. Maybe then I can be considered a holy child of God.
