Hey folks! I know I was M.I.A for the Christmas break but I was celebrating Jesus' birthday with food, drinks and my fam. He totally blessed this holiday time and He has faithfully brought us into 2010.
mmmmm. I feel like I just opened a new copy book. Fresh sheets, no dog ears, no marks, *sniff sniff* BRAND NEW! 2010 is fresh y'all and I plan on making the very most out of it.
A thought came to me while I was driving - It's when I do most of my deeper thinking.
The thought was about spiritual growth and the pains that it entails.
We were pagans when God chose us as his people. That's when we entered God's detox program. I call it a detox program because when we were pagans we were addicted to sin - many different types of sin. (anger, lust, greed, envy etc) Addictions are harmful and a lot of times the lead to an early death. Like any detox program, going cold turkey is hard. It involves side effects (stomach aches, nausea, vomitting) The same is involved when you decide to go cold turkey for a particular sin. As we deal with each sin, and our addcition to it, we go through trials and pains. (God's discipline) At the end of our program we are clean and free. However,during the process it is hard. Thank the Lord that we have a trained doctor who is specialized at cleaning people out. Our doctor is God, and he is totally specialized and he is absolutely loving.It is an honour to be a part of his detox program because it means that we are part of his family. :) Love itttttt!
Read Hebrews 12:1-13 for deeper insight.
Love you. Love God. Peace.
