BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS
Sin is like a barometer that
tells me how my relationship with God is going. When my
relationship is alive and well, sin rarely is found. When my
relationship is faltering and sick, sin pokes up its ugly head,
and I start to sink in a sea of iniquity. But the problem isn’t
the sin; it’s only a symptom. The real problem is that my
relationship with God isn’t what it should be. I am not loving
God with all my heart, mind, and strength.
If my relationship with God is
right, sin will not be a major problem. When my relationship is
strong, the power of God’s love rolls through my life and gives
me the strength to be all that I can be without being burdened
by sin.
Jesus said I should love God
with all my heart, all my mind, and all my strength. When I
love God with everything that’s in me, I no longer have a
problem with sin. I have taken the cure, and sin no longer
dominates my life. If I am lost in a maze of sin, the only
escape is to open my heart to God’s love. God’s love is still
the most powerful force in the universe, and it will blow the
maze of sin to smithereens when my intellect, emotions, and will
are aligned with his love.
