Growing Pains

All children go through various kinds of growing pains, as a part of maturing

It seems can and do continue well into adult life, as with children adults want to cling to bad habits even though they can easily become addictive, even though they know most are sinful

They continue to Indulge repeatedly while they try to hide those sins from family and friends

Due to the dulling effect of sinful addiction, they become reckless and then are found out by others

Which triggers guilt and denial by making excuses which are a form of lying yet another sin

I once was one such sinner as this, I clung to my sin and didn’t want to give it up.

Affording myself the luxury of believing I was a good person

But No one is good but God only

Since I continued to tell lies, I continued to look with lust (adultery) Ignoring my marriage vows and being unfaithful to my wife

I became condemned by my own actions; no longer could I claim to be (good)

I admitted I was a sinner and prayed for forgiveness as I wrote once before

Praise The Lord He answered and gave me a new heart

Making me a new creation, born again. I as a new child full of joy and praise for my Saviour

As with all children I as a born-again child am experiencing growing pains as I began to mature
