Self Indulgence

4/16/2010

Self-indulgence will gut a person’s soul, steal all love from their heart, blind a person to others’ souls, drain wisdom and discernment, make a person dull with sentiment or make them temperamental or moody or depressed or lethargic or insensitively motor-mouthed. Self-INDULGENCE is a choice, case by case, temptation by temptation. Like Esau—the choice to indulge one’s lusts or desires or pride or fears or laziness or comforts changes everything about our futures and potentials. Self-indulgence will gut a person’s soul, steal all love from their heart, blind a person to others’ souls, drain wisdom and discernment, make a person dull with sentiment or temperamental or moody or depressed or lethargic or insensitively motor-mouthed. Can’t we, for Jesus the person as a gift to Him, make choices to restrain our fleshly indulgence? Why would we, for short-term illusory “gain,” become a gutted, loveless, wisdom-less “shell”—rather than our intended Destiny, to be a spring of “Living Water” to water the parched desert of listless Lifeless humanity in this lifetime?!

As for the flesh…

Just say no.

For the Lamb!
