My Sins

If you noticed the title and thought this was going to be an expose of my sins, you are going to be very disappointed! Besides, your sins are worse than mine! No one expresses that thought but I believe many people rationalize that thought. What is the basis of that thinking? Human nature encouraged by Satan.

Most of us possess an outstanding ability to rationalize. If I have a bad day then a piece of Kay’s coconut cream pie helps lift my spirits and conversely on a good day a piece helps me celebrate! Meanwhile my weight continues to go up. Rationalization is a powerful tool. Unfortunately, it’s often not based on fact or the truth. It’s a crutch.

I worked with a lady years ago who was the queen of gossip. She loved to talk about other peoples’ problems. When she was asked about it, her reply was that she was not lying. Rationalization kept her going. Those that were willing to listen claimed innocence because they were just listening. Listening to gossip is being a party to gossip.

Judgement day arrives. You are standing before God. There will be no others that you can divert His attention towards. He’s waiting for your account and God does not care to hear your rationalization. If He doesn’t want to hear how your sins are not as bad as someone else’s nor your rationalization on judgement day then why would He want to hear that today?

Give God what He wants to hear, heartfelt and true confessions expressed in true sorrow!

Thanks
