Now that the Resurrection Sunday is over.....

I have a question for all of you. Now that resurrection Sunday is over what are we gonna do now? Are we gonna go back to living our lives, thankful that CHRIST died but still living for ourselves?


I realized soemthing this morning, not even a whole 24 hours after I came off my fast. I fasted, read, studied, fellowshipped and prayed for two whole weeks and almost immediately went back to cursing once it was over. I was cruising a board that I post to regularly looking for folks that made posts I had been angry with during those two weeks for the sole purpose of cursing them completely out now that I no longer was "required" to watch my language. I planned to put on a serious show and accept a month long ban with a flourish. I was all prepared to act as if that time of meditation and fasting meant nothing to me. I came away with so much joy but I polluted the air with my language and wasn't looking very saved, even to myself. The words that you use matter, I'm a big one for making that statement because it's true. Since I have no problem checking myself so I am doing just that. How can I tell people that GOD has worked his will on me if I allow myself to fall back into old habits so easily?

We all do it. We all ask for deliverance from things and then turn around and embrace the very thing we asked to be delivered from. Don't get me wrong, I have been saved from much worse things than foul language but I also know that I have a long way to go. I enjoy cursing. As wicked as it is I enjoyed most of the awful things I did before I was saved. I always say GOD has to work overtime on me because he has. I always have been one of my FATHER's more difficult to manage children because I had plenty of fun being bad. I know it was wrong but I won't lie and say I was completely miserable being a miserable person. I was happy being a wretch until I realized there was better for me to be

I am ever changing and growing. GOD is moving me in directions that completely boggle my mind as to why he picked me of all people. I am just gonna do what HE says because nothing has a benefit package like HIS.Seeing as I have more work to do, my next request is to ask GOD to help me train myself to use my communication skills in more meaningful and positive ways.

I know HE'll be more than happy to oblige me.
