Midnight Confessions

I have idols. I need them to be dislodged. I am trying. How badly do I want this? I don't know. I'm attached to them. But, I think God wants this, so I'm praying daily for it. I'm also trying to do a little mind work myself, but I find that almost impossible.

Are these sinful things? No. They're all good in and of themselves. And, I think God might grant them if they were not put on a par with Him (or put above Him) in my heart.

Yeah, I saw that episode. I believe that a helicopter took him out while he was hiding in a cave. He was my favorite character on that series.

So... YOU'RE DEAD!!!

Or.... did you somehow sneakily escape like they all do in these series? HHMMMMM??????

The struggle is real.

Sneakily escaped. Good show though.

I hate it. I want my sinful nature GONE. Totally wiped. I want unabashed sinlessness.

Gee... I experience NONE of that!

You're not alone.

Paul prayed 3 times for God to remove the thorn in his flesh. God said that His grace was sufficient. I wonder how we would be if our sin nature was gone. I am wondering if I would be able to relate to and counsel to someone who is struggling with sin if my sin nature no longer existed. Of course, regardless, it is always wrong to sin. We're not perfect and still stumble occasionally. Fortunately God understands the human nature quite well. Here is the way I look at it - yeah, I am still a sinner but I'm not going to sin today while it is still called today.

That's over four and a half years ago! Yikes. Where does the time go?

I remember her quite well. We use to write back and forth a little during my single days on CC. Just having a little foolish single fun. Flirted a little bit. I have found that the older I get the quicker the time flies.

I tried a smoke at a gathering of old friends, i regret no walking away

Confession: I have no empathy

I confess that I've been inviting sinful thoughts of sexual nature. I don't understand why taboo things only make it more appealing.. I've been really good at controlling many urges and I am just tired of feeling bad about it, because I know that I have good character and I always try to be kind to others.. but there's this sense of guilt lingering at the end of each day, and sometimes I feel like justifying it in my head by weighing it against my other actions.. so it's just that.

There are a whole lot of people that struggle with the same thing as you do so please know that you are not alone in this. It can be very hard to control your thoughts every minute of the day. I believe it would be an exercise in futility.

These may indeed be sinful thoughts but perhaps only that, and in that regard you may not be committing sin. Of course, it is best not to dwell on these thoughts or you may be tempted to act on them. It is at that point that sin would be committed.

Being kind to others is a very good character trait to have.

You don't have to justify anything at the end of the day but pray for God for you not to be led into temptation. That's part of the Lord's prayer. I make it a point to pray this prayer each day. I highly recommend it as part of one's daily routine.

No one is perfect and each one is flawed to one degree or another. Myself included.

Take care and God bless you.
