Live your life being led by the spirit, not by your emotions. Your feelings will lie to you and mislead you. How many times have you gotten a thought in to your head and worked yourself all up and it was nothing? Fear? Paranoia? Self guilt? Jealousy or envy? None of these thoughts are of God and when you truly read the word you will be shocked at what is considered sin. Pride, jealousy, boasting; they all are sins in the eyes of God. Did you know that? I truly believe that so many of us think of sin as murder, adultery, idolatry and although they are, the truth is sin is not measured by degrees. A sin is a sin and the Lord hates when we justify any sin. We all need to be cleansed for what we think and say. If the Lord let us have a free pass on all the little things than why would we need Him? He wants us to be sanctified and reborn in His image and the way is through repentance and His forgiveness. It does not mean as long as we live a decent life and we don't kill, lie or steal we are good stewards of God. We must live each and everyday striving to be more like Him and less like this world. The bible is a fascinating instructional on what the Lord says about so many things we face in life. It is the best advice I could ever offer. Amen?!
