stop fooling yourself

revolutionflame.com

I thought you wanted to be financially independent, owing no one and having reserves for unforeseen circumstances? And yet spend impulsively beyond your means. You have no saving or investment plan. You have fallen into the temptation of desiring more. Worst, you are feeding a false created impression of yourself.

I thought you wanted to manage your time. And yet you sleep late engrossed in movies. Wake up late. Toss and turn in bed. Waste time changing channels by the television. Gallivant aimlessly following friends. Gossip instead of discussing ideas. I’m sure you know what you are doing

I thought you wanted a better life for yourself. And yet you mess your mind with impure thoughts. Contaminate your heart with unexpressed emotions. Weaken your body with unhealthy foods and inadequate exercise. Yeah, I get it you want a better life. Really?

I thought you wanted your dreams fulfilled. And yet you have no detailed plan on paper. No reading or learning plan. No standards. No morals. You are walking in the borrowed image of career prominence. Well?

I thought you wanted to be a light to the world. And yet you spend more time reading novels and magazines than the bible. All your memory verses are a familiar like that of a Sunday school kid. Fasting and prayers are out of the deal for you. You have found all the medical excuses not to fast. To you, it is reserved for some “ojacious” few. Your prayers are short, repetitive and lack biblical backing. Light of the world? Really?

Stop fooling yourself. Be Inspired!
