I have come to realize a few things over the last couple of weeks. First, I now know that my faith is not nearly as strong as I once thought it to be. Secondly, nothing should get in the way of your walk with Christ. Although these two concepts may not seem related, in my life they are very similar. It is because I let something hinder my walk with my Savior that I have come to realize that my faith is weak. Different people face different barriers but they all ultimately lead to the same thing, which is destruction. James says it best in James 1:15, “Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.” School, work, kids, marriage, sex, girls, television, internet, lust, clothing, pride, and the list goes on and on. All these of these, if not controlled, cause one’s focus to shift from God to desire. Although this may seem innocent we now know that desire leads to sin and sin leads to death. Many times we don’t realize what we are doing until something dramatic has happened, but maybe that is just what we need. In my case the transition of my focus from God to my worldly desires was one that was all too smooth. I was blinded by my own evil desires and it was only by the grace of God that I was given sight. Now I’m left kicking myself and begging God for his forgiveness which I pray that He grants. To save yourself this trouble just remembers that nothing in this life compared to your relationship with Christ Jesus. Focus on Him with all your heart and He will bless you in ways that you cannot imagine. Again, I thank God for his grace because without it I’d be lost.
