This week i pursued one pleasure in particular. I won't name it because lets just say, i'm not especially proud of it. At all. As i was doing my solo today i noticed that i was wanting to skip over all the questions about what i pursued. I was feeling guilty the moment i began to read them. But the thing with me pursing this pleasure is, i know that i'm doing it while i do it...and i still do it. It's soo frustrating.
BUT, as a wise friend reminded me last night, "There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." (Rom 8:1)
Do you understand what this means?? It means we don't have to feel guilty about what we have pursued. It means we don't have to wear ourselves out trying to be good. Jesus is good enough. And it means we can stop constantly checking to make sure we're right with God. He's made all things right.
So i apologized for my sinful pursuit, and i'm moving on. Without condemnation.

Tears. The happiest tears I've had in a long time. I'm smiling from the inside out.
