As I was reading the other day I saw my thoughts in someone else’s book, my thoughts about how life should be. Life is not about sin management. Being a christian is not about living a set of rules or a life that is so far more pure than the next guy. Some of the purest people you know may be the biggest sinners. Life is not about managing sin and all that goes with that, life is about becoming the person God created you to be.
If I am totally transparent, there is a war that wages in my life, and I would venture to say some of yours. The battle to be the person I was created to be vs. the battle to be the person that I could be if I did not care about living a full life of destiny. See, it can get easy to just coast through life. Never confront any of your issues, never strive to be a better person, never worry about the weight and density of your choices. But for me, I just can not do it. I have tired. LOTS! At times I even think I can make it work, just live life, no pressure, only a little stress, live a good life, but take off the yoke to be all that I was created to be. God created you with a purpose and a destiny. Start making choices that will allow you to live in that purpose. They might be hard, the might force to to be uncomfortable, the WILL make you deal with the crap in your life, but at the end of your life you will live it with no regret.
don’t become bogged down with “sin management”. When you are living the life God created you to life, it will force you out of that mode, and into a full life where you realize your choices matter and carry far greater significance than just managing the sin…more later.
