• "Sin belongs to hell and the devil; I as a child of God, beolnd to heaven and God. It is not a question of giving up sin, but of giving up my right to myself, my natural independence and self-assertiveness, and this is where the battle has to be fought." This is heavy for me. It seems to be like eating. Fregging the entire United States is a slave to the cookie, the pizza pie and the soft drink, myself included. Those times when I do not eat it, it is like I'm giving up my right to choose that option. I know, for an absolute fact that every time I eat one of these I feel like puking 15 minutes after I leave the dining hall. I wanna puke on myself because I know my stupid descsion to eat those "dead" calories was my fault. I did it. Now I pay for my stupid mistake. And I get fat and feel more dead and less alive in getting fat. Not fat but just out of shape and extra weight that cloggs my heart up and makes me breath heavy when I run up a single story flight of stairs. Get in shape Lazy Nate. Yet its the same way with sin in my life. I just comprimise and what not without using my head. I might think it's OK to be unfriendly, but I'm feeling like a dead man while I'm doing it, my heart freezing over and getting bitter about life. Not treating others as Jesus would treat them. How hard is to talk to antoher person? "It is the things that are right and noble and good from the natuarl standpoint that keep us back from God's best. To discern that natural virtues antagonize surrender to God, is to bring our soul into the center of its greatest battle." "Jesus said "If any man will be My disciple, let him deny himself," ie, his righ tto himself, and a man has to realize Who Jesus Christ is before he will do it. Beware of refusing to go to the funeral of your own independence." Oswald Chambers
