2 Corinthians 7 (new living translation)
1 Because we have these promises, dear friends, let us cleanse ourselves from everything that can defile our body or spirit. And let us work toward complete holiness because we fear God.
I love this verse! I ask myself how's my house cleaning going? I know in terms of lust, I'm doing well, but what about my heart attitudes towards others? My language? Bad habits? I'm almost SCARED to ask God to bring me to complete holiness because there are some things I'm unwilling to give up right now.
Lord, help me to move toward complete holiness. Help me to cleanse myself of EVERYTHING that can defile me, give me the courage and willingness to clean those things out no matter what they may be. Amen.

I hear ya about being unwilling to give up everything. Wholehearted devotion sounds wholesome and desireable until you realize that you get to hold onto nothing for yourself. Yikes!
