Can you tolerate......
- a disorganised work or study table?
- a flickering lightbulb in your room?
- an overflowing dustdin in your house?
you know these are tell tale signs that you are capable or in fact already tolerating sins in your life?
how come?
it is the
overflow of your behaviour into different aspects of your life
yes, you might say you acknowledge that you have sin in your life but other than acknowledging it, are you doing anything about it?
in the bible, God uses the removal of dirty clothings as a symbolic way of removing sins..
"3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. 4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes."
Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.""
~Zechariah 3:3-4~
let us really do a check on ourselves regularly in ensuring that we are not tolerating sins in our life.. don't let it snowball.. rather we should acknowledge and deal with it together with God.. cos in tolerating it, you are the one who is ultimately gonna suffer the consequences and you will also end up hurting the people around you..
"19Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord,"
~Acts 3:19~
Examine your life in totality...
Love,
