This week there have been multiple conversations with dear ones who have found patterns in their life of giving in to temptation and giving in to the demands of the uncrucified flesh. After a while, we began to discuss how it seems like some folks just don't struggle with transgression to the degree that other people do and these thoughts came out of those conversations.
- You are not a victim, you are a victor! Quit the blame game.
- Jesus quite literally provided us with the victory.
- You do not need to be enslaved to patterns that wound your spirit.
- Freedom is available to you!
- Your choices are reflective of the things you feed your spirit/soul/mind.
- Just like physical food manifests itself in your physical body - spiritual food manifests itself in your conversations and your decisions.
- You're obsessing over whether or not God loves you, that's a waste of energy.
- He's already proven to all of humanity that He does. This was settled in the life, death, burial, resurrection, and promised-return of Christ Jesus.
Stop trying to make it about any of the other things.
