Someone asked me how my day was going and the first thoughts I had were about how lousy I ate. Why is the FIRST criteria that I use for judging my day food?! An idol perhaps?! Something for sure to pray about! I want to take every thought captive and evaluate it based on the gospel of Jesus! I CANNOT live up to the gospel and my thoughts need to be based on the reality that I live OUT of the Gospel. Am I seeking sanctification? Yes! But can the filters that I use to make judgments and analyses must be founded on who I am IN Jesus Christ, not who I am in Kandy or who I am because of what I ate/didn't eat. May I then worship accordingly and not sit paralyzed! IN Jesus Christ and OUT OF the Gospel is how I want to live! May God help me through His Holy Spirit!!!
It is a process, do I still feel lousy because of how I ate? Yes. But does that make ME a terrible person? Does God even see what I ate? The truth of the matter is that in my mistakes and poor choices I go to the cross and worship! Repent and Worship and get washed clean again and then worship some more; for more hours in the day to make better choices, to worship some more and love God better and more!
