For the first time in a long time, my spiritual health has deteriorated. The scariest part is that it happened so slowly, that you don't even begin to realize it until it hits you one day. It finally hit me hard yesterday, when I found myself wanting to do something for all the wrong selfish reasons. This wasn't a total shock, because I knew that I haven't been growing spiritually at all, and I never even saw that as a problem. The worst part is, when you think you have everything right with the Lord, that's when you're most vulnerable to slip up or be attacked by the Devil. This has been my mentality for the past two weeks, believing that my walk with our Heavenly Father was fine and dandy, not feeling the need to change or spend more time with Him. By the grace of God, the Spirit has not given up on me, and is continually revealing to me my heart and the things in it that must be thrown out. In the Bible, it is promised to us that we can be made new again, completely cleansed from all unrighteousness. Humans on their own will always have sin in their lives, but with the Holy Spirit, we children of God can be free and blameless. Without even the slightest blemish of sin! I WANT TO BE SIN-FREE!

"Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God."

2 Corinthians 7: 1
