Heavenly Father please do not let me fall off of the "God wagon".
Roxxy. A quick thought, we do things for a reason, normally because of the way we feel during and after a social event.
It becomes part of who we are, and one thing leads to another, a way of talking, a sense of humour, a cynical spirit, a dishonouring way of talking about others, and suddenly one can find you have become what you wanted to avoid.
It can be like just putting on a set of cloths, but then end up defining us. This process stops when we know why the attitudes are wrong, because they are just self justification above love for others etc. It takes time to see the effects, and you can easily become part of the group, because it is just so expected.
What renews me, is letting the Lord speak to my heart, and honestly reaching out to Him and sharing my needs. It puts so much back into focus. The world is so often driven by the moment, with no reference to where things have come from or the consequences of where they might lead. The world says thinking on these things is boring, but in reality it is a real challenge to take on the day, and make it good, to help meet needs, to carry the cross and die to self, not easy.
