Pure Conscience....
We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. We all know it but we all do it. I heard the question the other day "How many of us can say we serve God with a pure conscience?" I honestly have to say I don't think I can say that. If I really take a God look at my life, I can't say that in everything I do, from the surface of my life to the core, I serve God with a pure heart. My motives are often tainted by selfishness. My thoughts are consumed with the things of the world and the desires of the flesh. My life is plagued with sin. It's not that I can't live a pure life before God, but simply that I won't. My ideas of God is are less than who He is, and in thinking less of Him, I have found the truth that I live less than the child of God He has said me to be.
He is completely Holy and completely Love, but I am neither because of my love for self and my self-righteousness. I make plenty of excuses. I am really good at making excuses. What would it take me to live the holy and loving life of the child of God?

what do you think it would take? what is it that God is currently asking you to give over to be sanctified?
it's such a process. thank God that we don't have to be perfect immediately after salvation!
Hey! I couldn't help but think of that time when the lady had no clue how to get to her home. Thankfully it didn't take me as long this time. : )
This Beautiful Mess is really starting to help me realize the truth about the Kingdom. Our conversation in Atl. that night makes more sense now.
