Water Your Worth

“I don’t care what you choose to do as an adult but I don’t want my child influenced by the decisions made as an adult…” I have said this a couple of times in regards to being asked about all the flair or even when determining if an atmosphere is child appropriate for us. And while I do know that we all have free will and agree that if as an adult you choose to live in sin then that is your choice but I do care. I actually might care more than I know what to do with and honestly don’t know how approach it other than knowing that I am the filter and guardian for my child and that matters most at the moment.

I shared a blog post over the summer about this called “hate the sin not the sinner” and I do agree with this. Most people do not realize how under the influence they are and that they have been led into a life that is not actually for them. It takes a lot of courage to look at how you are living and realize that it is not really life giving, then to face it and make an about turn around is a whole ‘nother level of guts. “I don’t even know you anymore.”, I have even been told in regards to who I have become after stepping out of sin. Everything changes and change is uncomfortable especially when you establish so much around these “beliefs” (quotations because it is more influence and impressed upon). So, yes, hate the sin but have compassion and space for the sinner because underneath it all is still a soul that our awesome loving God made and wants to live and to be able to come home to Him.

So, I have lied in saying that I don’t care. I do care, I care so much and I know intimately what it means to step out of the darkness and life of sin that was taking me straight to hell and then choosing life, over and over again life to live. I am sure at some point Holy Spirit will direct the proper words for me to reach more people but for now my most important focus is my child and making sure that he is not influenced in ways that are not in alignment with myself and Yeshua.

Proverbs 2 is one that we read often and I believe is one that more can use and work with in both prayer and life. Then there is Romans 1:16-32 are other areas that can be read and meditated on (not easy to meditate on but worthy).

So, as I say my apologies, I will also do better in closing my mouth and asking for Him to lead me with the words that are best for all involved. Knowing that He directs all according to His will, I know that this was something I needed to address but continue to impress properly on how I hold myself and what interactions are allowed in our lives. God bless!
