Are you fooling yourself?

 

Someone shared this video with me and it fits perfectly with what we're praying about this week. I personally spend a lot of time in self-reflection, asking God questions. Sometimes I'm filled with doubt, but still, I feel secure in my relationship with Christ Jesus. Being saved isn't about having a warm fuzzy, feeling. You can't just pray the prayer and then go on living the life you were living. There are some preachers who would have you believe that, though.
     There are many hard truths in the bible that don't fit in with our sinful natures. We can't just ignore them because they make us feel bad about ourselves. We can't change God's word to fit our lives; we need to change our lives to fit God's word.

For whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything.

1 John 3:20 ESV

*********

Please join me this week in praying for God to show each of us our sin. Then, ask for His wisdom and guidance to overcome that sin. Pray that He humbles us to acknowledge our sinful nature and our shortcomings, so that we can become more Christlike and better image-bearers to those God brings into our lives. Finally, let's pray that we have open hearts, softened hearts in order to not condemn others. Ask God how you can help others instead of judging and walking away.
