No wonder...

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death. - James 1:15

I was just sitting here at work today, thinking. I work about three stories up and work a row in my office that looks somewhat familiar to a cubicle ghost-town. All around me you can hear work going on so its pretty animated. We have so many opportunities to speak to people about Christ and yet we let them pass us by because of any old excuse we can come up with. What's crazy is that most of these excuses come around because of our sinful hearts.

No wonder we can't witness to someone when we walk around in a "dead" mindset all day because of sin we have committed a day, and hour or a few minutes before that opportunity arises. Sin and God cannot and will not dwell together. No wonder we don't have anything encouraging or nice to say about or to someone when we remember of how un-bridled our tongues have been just a few days before. No wonder we can't tell people of a Christ that has given so much, because we can't take five minutes to get on our face before Him and give Him the praise He deserves.

I love you guys and girls and I am praying that we get our hearts in the broken place and place of excitement and intimacy with Him.

IN CHRIST!
