And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. - Matthew 5:30
Tonight I cut off my hand... at least it felt that way. But I've finally ended an unhealthy friendship with a girl that has been eating away my spirit and convicting me for so long. I wish it was easier to choose God over self and did not result in so much pain. But what's done is done and I know He'll stop the bleeding over time. Up to this point I think He held back my life until I decided to sacrifice the most important things. Now it's an agonizing freedom - freedom at last from ages of guilt and conviction.
Have you ever had to "cut off a hand?" How long did it take to recover, and did you grow as a result?
