Sensitive To Sin

Yes I am always with you. Psalm 73:23

If I was to ask 1,000 people what they are striving for I dare say not one would say, " I am striving to be sensitive to sin." Who talks that way? I must say I have learned the hard way about sin. My stupid, stagnant, silly rebellious heart now speaks a new language. It is the language of a sinner that wants to be a saint.It is the language of a man that does not want to be a hypocritical fool any more.

This sensitivity comes as I draw closer to Christ. This happens when the Holy Spirit speaks, I listen and I leap for the cross. Now there is no other voice that I want to hear. No other hand that I long to reach for and no other eyes I wish to look into.

We are a new creation and I want to be clean everyday. I no longer want to rest my feet in muck and mire. When I sing I want to be in harmony with Christ. When I walk I want Him to lead my life.

Though sin will always occupy let it not have a foothold in our lives. Let it hold a broken bat in it's hands when it takes it swing. Let it not hold dominion over us again. Let us have a listening spirit that is sensitive to the cross. Like a young man in love may we long for His presence and may He always occupy our thoughts.

My God, my Father,my Savior
I want to be sensitive to sin.
No longer will I be played the fool
No longer am I going to let Satan win.

May Your presence be always with me
As You occupy my thoughts.
I was once a sinner
But now my heart has been bought.

There is no longer a dominion
That is present over me,
I was once a sinner
But now I've been set free.
