I’ve been thinking this week about something our pastor said on Sunday:

“We would rather hear a comfortable lie than an uncomfortable truth.”

That’s true.  I like to think I’m very objective in my ability to embrace the uncomfortable truth.  But I’m not.  I’m vulnerable to the comfortable lie.  Ew.

It reminded me of that verse in Isaiah 30:11: “Leave this way, get off this path, and stop confronting us with the Holy One of Israel!”

Makes me shudder.  I don’t ever want that to be my mindset.  I want to be open to what the Holy One has for me.  I am currently praying for the “godly sorrow [that] brings repentance” (2Cor7:10) about some sins in my life.  I don’t just want to regret some things.  I want true, heart-felt, godly sorrow and complete repentance.  It’s the only way to be free in Him.

Okay.  I think older son has woken younger son.  On purpose.  Must go mediate.
