“Father, please show me my sin.”
There are many things I do habitually. I have a process for most things I do
daily. There is nothing wrong with this
as long as I do not let the process become what matters. On the other hand, I am inconsistent at some
things that really matter. I wish to
differentiate between inconsistency and hypocrisy. Although at times I have been guilty of both
it is inconsistency that I wish focus on today.
I can form a bad habit after just one go at it. Good habits come much harder. Even after six years of working hard to eat
right I can be very inconsistent in doing what is best for my physical wellbeing. I can forget easily things that I need to do
daily that are healthy for me.
Worse still is the inner struggle to be consistent in how I
interact with people. Everyone is worthy
of my love and compassion but I do not always apply it consistently. This does not mean that it should be
expressed in the way others think it should.
It does mean that I must interact with everyone in a way that shows my
love for God and my love for them.
I have to be sure that I consistently apply the standards of
Christ to each of my interactions. I
must be consistent in my view of others.
I must see everyone as some Christ loves and wishes to know intimately. Even as I write this I the names of people
float through my mind with whom I must be more loving and kind.
If I am not constant in my love for them then I cannot hope
for them to see Christ in me.
Wishing you joy in the journey,

Mat 13:52 So Jesus said to them, "That is why every writer
who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store."
