Sensitivity to Darkness

Keep your heart sensitive to the sin that creeps into your life. If we let our mind and heart become numb to the distance from God that is created when we choose to sin, it can easily become daily life. Constantly remind yourself that God is above all things. Ask yourself is what you are doing pleasing to The Lord. If God were to be accompanying you during your sinful actions or thoughts would He be happy or proud? Though we all fall short of the glory of God, we can strive to live and to love like Jesus. Habitually committing sin will keep you away from experiencing the Holy Spirit's power and direction. Mistakes happen and we will fall short, but it shall not be a habit formed for daily life. Keep yourself sensitive to sin and on fire for God.



Christians still Stumble

So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. - James 4:17 

So what does this verse exactly mean? It means that as Christians we are given security in Jesus Christ. We realized that we once were lost and needed a Savior. As Christians we obtain knowledge from the Bible about what is required and expected of us. If we know that a particular action or thought is sinful and we still do it, it is sin. The Lord knows the knowledge that each of us obtain. Christians still stumble even though they have been justified through faith in Jesus. 

  For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God . - Romans 3:23

Sensitive Heart and Mind

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17

Christ wants your journey in life to be focused and directed in His grace, will, and passion. Christ has renewed our soul and has strengthened our minds with His word. In Christ we are made new! The old you has now passed away and you are born again through the love of Christ. He is our healer, stronghold, and giver of life. He has made each on of us in His likeness. Your journey has just begun. Take up your belongings and set foot on the greatest journey through life with the best tour guide you will ever follow.
