Lately I’ve been thinking about the lenses I look through
Do I have righteous anger? Self-righteousness? Or do I envy sinners? Like say one of your friends comes up to you and says “don’t tell anyone but I stole $20,000 from such and such and got away with it” Do you greet that with righteous anger (upset because they have done wrong), self-righteousness (feeling like you're better than them), or do you envy their sin? (you're just upset because they got $20k and you didn’t) This is something I’ve been really thinking about and I think sometimes I am guilty of being upset because I envy sin because I want the perceived “benefit” that I see other people enjoying But in realizing this- it has…hmm…… have you ever heard the phrase “knowing is half the battle?” I feel like realizing this alone has sort of fixed the problem.. just knowing this is something I do has fixed it.. because now when i envy sin then I know I’m in the wrong and I have to get my mind and heart back on track to seeing things correctly Ok well I just wanted to speak on this.. anyone reading this- try to think about this too and check your motives peaCe
