As a Christian woman I often forget that I do not own myself anymore.
I was bought at a price and belong to another.
I am a bond servant of Jesus.
Well to see the way I act at times who would know.
I am supposed to be the fragrance of Jesus yet I find myself to be more of a stench at times.
I stink when I forget that I am not my own.
“walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.”
This lust is when I think I am my own and not His, this happens periodically it is often so subtle I don't always recognize it.
When I don't watch what I put in my body, when I don't watch what comes out of my mouth and more importantly when I am not guarding my heart to see that the issues that flow out of it are healthy and full of life. When I don't keep check on my attitudes and behaviours.
Remember when we were in love and how that felt? How we could have walked on water and would have tried for the one we loved. That our thoughts went to them most of the day. How we would anticipate with great longing when we would see them next. How every little things about them made us think we had just struck gold in the relationship department.
Yes, you know don't you?
This attitude of love is what we need to have towards our Saviour, the Lover of our Soul.
He loves us like this yet we very quickly forget Him and often compartmentalize our relationship with the God of all the earth.
If we belong to Him and I do, getting back to the place where I want to spread His fragrance throughout my world is necessity to the fulfillment of my life.
Let's remember To Whom We Belong
