I have fear, it is not fear of clowns or fear of bugs or fear the dark. I have a great fear of certain things that the human heart naturally produces, I fear pride I fear arrogance I fear stubborness and not willing to listen when I am clearly in the wrong, i fear unforgiveness I fear thinking myself better than anyone.
These are my greatest fears and because I fear them I am constantly on watch of these things to pop up and when they do I have to rebuke them, but time and time again we have to humble ourselves every day never letting our guard down because these things will easily sneak in.
Anger zeal irritation the thought of us being right and the other wrong, these are the triggers of such things and im sure many of us as we read this are being convicted including me.
I just felt in my heart to write this knowing how I have wronged God and others because of these things, yesterday I flat out had it I was very upset with God I complained and complained and complained some more and I was out of line. Today as I recall my outbursts and my complaining to him I realize I was being ungrateful selfish and and impatient. I have no excuse for my sins, it doesnt matter that I was born in a body with a sinful nature the fact of the matter every sin I make is a choice, every boastful outburst every judgmental thought and word every mocking and sarcastic words toward another is never justified.
Some say that we will be held accountable for our every word before God, others say because of grace we will not or at least not near as bad. But I hold myself accountable for my every word I hold myself responsible for my every sin, I cannot blame anyone I have no leg to stand on. So please my friends take this lesson to heart and humble yourself as to not make the same mistake I did
