Sometimes it takes a drastic event o change us.
About
The past is called the past because it’s over and done with, you can’t change it and you can’t bring it back. So, what do we do? We either remain the same, regress or change for the better.
It’s not really important to know everything that I allowed to corrupt my thinking, it only brings credibility to the fact that I have experienced it. What I classify as sin is those thoughts that create bad actions, actions that hurt.
Sin is a destructive thought pattern that turns into actions.
Pride, vanity, fear, anger – these are things we must be aware of, they cause us to make a lot of mistakes. I cautiously use the word Cause because we do allow things to happen.
Some of the repercussions are: Loss of possessions, loss of friends and the loss of respect for oneself.
How Nikki Taught Me Several Lessons
I had a little dog named Nikki, she was with me for several years.
She came to me at a time when I had health issues. She became a companion and required little care, that is until she became ill herself. The first lesson I learned was focus, my focus went to her when she was ill and I learned that talking my mind off of myself actually relieved my own health problems.
This was a great lesson in how your mind works, sometimes we think to much and this can be a detriment to us.
Allowing Sin to Control Thoughts
Without rehashing a period of time which was very tough, in hindsight I allowed sin to control my thoughts. I made a lot of mistakes and some actions were regrettable, but that’s no excuse.
Nikki passed away in early 2010, it was that night that she passed that I learned another lesson. The lesson was – self indulgence is a short term pleasure, but regret is a long term curse and sin will use this to curse you forever.
I think we should leave it at that.
Shake Up
It’s unfortunate, but life at times shakes us up using circumstances.
My dear friends, I hope you don’t have to experience any pain so deep to change, but if you do believe there is a lesson to be learned.
This may sound nuts, but I need to hold on to a little of this pain. It’s a reminder of how sin works and what I allowed it to do in my life.
The night Nikki passed away is the night I felt and saw sin clearly. I truly understood what sin was and took its existence (even though we can’t see it) a lot more seriously. This is one of the reasons I created this site.
You may or may not believe in God, Sin or the whole idea of this unseen world, but you can’t deny the actions of people. For yourself, if you are struggling with temptations and doing things that hurt you and others, then take a breather. Something is triggering your actions, and I use the word trigger because it can’t force you to do things it can only trigger you to action.
Give your situation a rest for a moment, read some of the other articles and get a feel for what I believe is influencing us and how you can get control back.
I vowed to Sin No More and hope I can convey that message for people who need help.
Dedicated to my little girl Nikki…1-5-2010
