I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called. Ephesians 4:1 NKJV
Yesterday, I woke up and thought, "What am I doing? Do I believe in God or not? And if I do, can I continue to ignore God's commands about how to live my life?" I have been pretending that I can be a child of God, but then ignore Him and His commands when it's not convenient or I just don't feel like listening. I simply cannot continue this way. I won't allow guilt and remorse to consume or cripple me. instead, I'll face forward and only look back to be grateful for the way God has saved me. If my feet are dragging in mud, it's because I put them there. Jesus saved me, but I'm wasting this precious gift. Wasting it. And it's because I've been relying on my own strength and not His. But each day is also a gift, a chance to turn around and head the right direction. Every breath reaffirms my ability to change with God's help.

I've been feeling this way lately. It's so easy to ignore God's command, and rely on our own will. I need to get back into the Word and listen to what God's plan for me is.
It's so easy to do!
