Don't grow numb to your sins

    Habitual sins grow into a pattern of numbness. Yes, confession helps give us Grace to help avoid those that tend to keep having us relive them daily. But true contrition is the key. Truly being sorry for offending God, is the only way to change. Our pride and negligence in thinking that it's not only hurtful to God but infuriating to His Majesty, keeps the sin alive. How merciful is this God of ours? To Time after Time allow us to be asking for His forgiveness and then actually forgiving us. 

     I am so weak! My downfalls are many. Yet, Jesus reminds me that His love is infinite and His Mercy will never end also. That thought alone, helps me to keep trying. I am a stubborn child. Forgetting often, that the main goal in all of life is to honor and love God with all of my being, with all of my soul. Passing by that thought, leaves us pray for the evil one. Why can't I remember that? I know the consequences. I feel the sorrow and shame of it. But still, my heart tends to this world. A passing world. Forgetting the true world. Heaven. Thinking I still have time, when time is never on our side. 

     Easter is here. The time is now. The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. We are all little rocks around that cornerstone. 

     Let my heart rejoice in death becoming no more. As I ask for restoration, as I help build the kingdom of God.
