Does it seem as if we are stagnant in our spiritual life?
Are we not feeling it as the artists do in inspirational Christian songs?
Do we not relate with the joy and peace others have who appear more blessed?
So we pray to refrain from the blindness and darkness of sin.
The truth is that often we are not aware of sin or the consequences thereof.
In confession, I make it a point to include the sins forgotten and those of omission
Wisdom and discernment are gifted in His timing according to God’s Justice
Every time we don’t believe loved ones or do not listen to our spouse it’s a sin
kind and gentle with people despite how right we think we are or how bad we feel.
God said love is to believe all things, be of the same mind and follow through
If we disagree rather than be in mutual agreement we are acting in pride
Are we self-persevering and making our spouse explain before we agree or listen?
Do we expect God to prove himself before we have faith or love Him?
We tend to our spiritual life in every way, each day and give God His due
To include what Christ asked of us in memory of Him as our daily bread
When we chose comfort at the expense of our responsibilities, we fail to do
Whenever we pass by something not put away and ignore it,
Not only is it sloth, but not prioritizing what’s right and disobedience to God
When we put off something our spouse asked until we finish it’s not being kind
Are we ok with our kids enacting on our request whenever they feel
Would we delay a boss’s instructions until later or do it right away?
“Of course, immediately” is what we say to impress or if seeking a promotion
Why not treat each other the same as we must love as we do ourselves
God said we must treat others as if they are better than us and in thought
He also expects us to be self-disciplined diligent and consistent.
If we know the rights things to do and don’t continue we are not in compliance
Overindulgence, self-perseverance, and sloth are not in the service of others.
Taking care of ourselves by stretching, resting proper hydration and nutrition
Looking out for each other, never turning down anyone needing help?
Complaining, gossiping, curiosity or loss of hope does not promote any good.
Are we heeding His call and living life according to Christ they way that we should?
While some of these are common ways of the world they are mortal sins
We are aware that to receive in mortal sin the Eucharist is sacrilege
At the very least it’s null, void, or doesn’t carry the same effect
So it’s difficult to be in the state of grace, and feel His glory, if only most knew
In an instance, all sinning would cease if we were conscious of every wrong
But to be unaware of each sin does not exempt us from its consequences
Otherwise, how do we ultimately learn it is wrong and a sin
By definition mortal sin is anything of grave matter we knowingly commit
How do we know not obeying God isn’t rejecting the Holy Spirit and it’s grave?
To ignore what God commands and instructs is to say we know better
Thinking ourselves wiser than God is pride, a deadly sin which is mortal
If not constantly vigilant and trying to avoid any sin, are we true to Him?
Should we continue in sin we will not know the peace only He gives.
To love Him above all things is to abide by His every word in everything at all times
Give all of oneself in action and will, to the Most High, completely surrender to God.
We could be living our best life in peace, joy and love to His glory when we truly commit
So we can shine His light and to His mercy, have faith that is truly legit
Much love and God bless,
