Am I crying tears of repentance?
Or tears of manipulation?
Do I desire God's will?
Or do I desire to get out of the consequences of my sin?
Am I seeking meekness (not weakness), which produces contentment, or murdering with my thoughts?
Oh dear, dear, dear.
I told my pastor today that I would like for him to stop talking solely to me in church, there's got to be someone else he could talk to for a change. After all, I go to church to feel good about myself, not to be convicted, right?
I hope all of you were as uncomfortable and convicted as I was at church today. Oh, I mean not in a bad way, I would never want anyone to suffer as much as me...was that convincing? *palm to head*will I ever get it* but seriously because God's Word cuts to the quick and Jesus chastens those He loves.

I hear you!
Years ago, I was unhappy about a loved one's "behavior" and I remember praying that I had the right motivation for wanting the behavior to change.
Was I a control freak? A pharisee? A big wet blanket? Or did I have the Spirit?
BTW, when I finally gave it GOD, the behavior changed. LESSON LEARNED...who is in control again?
Exceptional post, Mrs. Jennifer. I've been to services like that, and they assure me that the Holy Spirit is dwelling in me. Non-Christians can't experience His conviction.
