This is the time of year when we celebrate what we have done well and where we can learn from our mistakes. An exercise that is useful for Passion374 as well!
Christmas movies, office parties, and family dinners, the opportunities to celebrate are not lacking! Do you sigh under the mistletoe? There is a very simple solution to stay festive in the coming days … and it has nothing to do with alcohol!
Ah, the flesh! Its desires and impulses lead us in a direction opposite to that which God asks us to take. If you can not resist the temptations, it may be because you are not fighting in the right way.
Some children are never satisfied. We give them one chocolate and they want two. We bring them to the park for an hour and they want to stay there all afternoon. It’s so irritating! Unfortunately, at times we also act like this with our Heavenly Father.
Unless we are a zombie, we make all our decisions for a specific reason. In fact, when you think about it, even zombies have a goal! But our motivations are not always good. Some self-examination is necessary.
