LAZY

Disclaimer: Don’t read this if you aren’t ready to hear the truth in love.

Christian, don’t be so focused on being a “work in progress” that you don’t progress.

It’s great when you can admit you aren’t perfect, make mistakes (sin), and make the necessary adjustments in your life to change.

It’s another thing to admit you’re a jerk and expect everyone else to accept you as you are because you have no intention of bettering yourself.

Progression is hard work, but do yourself and those around you a favor.

Have faith the Lord will help you.

I say this as someone who still struggles with all the things that make a Christian authentic. I say this with understanding and love,

Don’t be lazy with the new.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 2 Corinthians 5:17

Reflection: Are there any old behaviors and beliefs I’m holding on to even though I’m born again? What is holding me back from laying them at the foot of the cross forever? Am I really born again?
