Be radical in getting rid of sin🌸

How could we pluck out our eyes when they cause us to sin, won't that deteriorate our livelihood? ... that is what i (and probably some people still) used to wonder. Thank God for his faithfulness and grace to give us understanding and wisdom. What i have learnt is that Jesus means for us to BE RADICAL in dealing with sin in our lives. Often times we are unnecessarily too accomodating with sin, too patient, we justify it, we think we've hidden it, we don't see it because now most worldly things are incoporated in many things that form our day to day lives and mostly we look away or are afraid to reprimand those around us because we sin together. Jesus was urging us to 🌸 - Hate sin to start with..HATE IT! - Let the word and the Holy Spirit to enlighten us and expose what is sinful. - Such that when you do sin, immediately and aggresively stop entertaining it and repent that moment... not as a new year resolution, or put it off until the world stops as well. - Probe those small 'harmless things', the things you have to explain to convince other that 'there's nothing wrong with it', confront it with the will and word of God. - Run away literally (if you must end that relationship, stop going to that place, stop watching that movie) ... run away from what stimulates your sins. - Know that it is wrong to sin regardless of what your sin is, remember there is no sin bigger or smaller than the other. - Know that when you sin, you sin against God, you disobey him and it does not revere his holiness and majesty🌸 May today be the day we are as aggressive as we are when we are personally offended and disrespected. May we avoid and stop sin in us and around us as we would disassociating ourselves with anything we really hate. May we love the Lord by striving to hate sin more and repent in his Honor and Love🌸 I pray today that God would open our eyes, enlighten us, make us strong against temptation and teach us how to love him. Amen🌸 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away.... Matthew 5: 29 -30
