Break through

Daniel is so awesome. Okay, rewind...with the teams and a few visitors here, I wasn't able to answer or get to all the emails piling up in my thingy...so he said I could take the next few days to catch up with those and deep clean the house and do whatever else I wanted to do. Yay. So in doing that, I am re-reading all the e-mails I skimmed over (sorry Mom) and answering them all in backwards order. In saying that, I came across one that ROCKED ME.  In it, this person is describing their life and journey in Christ. Dang. I think we can all take notes on this one. This is what it reads:

"I still definitely struggle with those past temptations and still fall to them once in a while, but i know that I no longer have any obligation to my sinful desires because i am FREE in Christ."

POWERFUL. "No longer have any obligation to sinful desires". I think that I have once or twice thought that I have had an obligation to sin. Am I the only one that has thought that? Where does that idea come from? Seriously. This definitely will stick with me. Thank you secret email person.

I struggle more with being enticed or thinking "it's not really a sin". That is what sucks me in most often. Then, when it is a big, nasty mess, I say, "oooooh, that is why it is sin". I really hate that whole cycle. Do it way too often.
