That which is most essential, will not always be most
pleasantly attained and if I am to be effectively desensitized from the
dictates of the flesh, then I must be adequately trained in activities and
regimens which improve my relationship with you dear Lord. So I will remain one
who welcomes your rebuke and chastisement, knowing it is the one whom you love
that you teach to differentiate between right and wrong. All that is good was
made by you for my use (and whatever circumstance or challenge which may arise that is not of you, you still turn around in
my favor – for your glory) but I was made by and for you. Therefore, I refuse
to indulge my flesh and become slave to that which I was
created to rule and have dominance over! I refuse to place more importance in anything than it deserves but rather, choose to keep all things in their rightful places and perspectives. I refuse to let money, food, emotions, fear, trinkets, sex, fame, greed, pride, romance, anger, bitterness, people, envy, sickness, want, etc, take from me or become that which my life revolves around – even briefly! That which you have made available to me to use and enjoy while on earth, I choose take advantage of in the contexts for which you made them and in always in moderation; but that which you have stated should have no place in my life, I do away with permanently and with JOY.
