In the King James Bible, Romans 12:1, St. Paul says: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.” What is Creator’s perspective?

This passage and its perspective speak to the idea of humans themselves being holy but with an obligation to recognize that special value and take action, in some way or another, to live out the implications because it is both a statement of condition and a kind of mandate. Nothing is created to be a dead-end, to be static, and unchanging forever. The entirety of the universe is love in action, love on the march, love as a change agent, a vehicle for growth and learning as well as a destination and consequence of learning one's lessons and achieving enlightenment, through healing, to become at one with us and the rest of the human family, individually and collectively. This is the journey you are a part of, it is a long-term goal for you to fit into this schema and do your part, and going beyond that to serve the cause of the divine in seeing to the needs of your brethren as well, in other words, giving of yourselves. It is the recognition of your holiness that can be the inspiration for taking such action. After all, if you do not know who you are, how can anyone expect greatness of you? If you do not know you are holy, acting in a holy fashion may be foreign to your thinking and might be the last thing you would ask of yourself if you are embedded in the slings and arrows of earthly existence in the physical, and are doing all you can simply to hang on and survive, just providing creature comforts for yourselves and loved ones, safety and security to keep going, and that leaves little room for loftier notions, let alone such a broad goal as promoting divinity and all that represents. Yet this is why you were made in the first place and have it within you to use, both as fuel and as a kind of inner comfort that, no matter how difficult things might be as your life unfolds, you always have a loftier perch to return to and a true friend in the Almighty who loves you deeply and cherishes you and wants you to thrive and succeed. Taking comfort in that reality, to have in your awareness that you are indeed special and cherished by us, we hope will provide fuel for you to find within the desire and the capability to serve others, as well as yourself, as not just a duty but an opportunity to be a fuller version of yourself in that holiness, which indeed is special because, in the moment, you are more than who you think you are, you are all you have ever been and all you ever will be, because you are the connecting link between past and future. This puts in new perspective the metaphor of "standing on the shoulders of giants" in thinking about great accomplishments explained as giving credit to one's predecessors. We see you all as giants in your own right and building on all your achievements as you go; you are all great and becoming greater—that is what holiness represents.
