You’re not the only one that has the “I Can’t Love Syndrome” as I call it. In reality, we all really can love. In being Loved by Him, we must do something with that love. What do we do with it? Something. That’s up to you.

Life is a daily battle between the old us (who we were before Christ) and the new us (who we are forgiven in Christ). Even the Apostle Paul struggled to do the good he wanted to do and continued to do the bad he didn’t want to do. This didn’t mean he didn’t believe, it meant he was human. We all fight that battle daily. And as a result we all have to learn to live in grace. It is grace that transforms, grace that gives hope. I’ll be praying for your time in Nashville!

Great note. See also Galatians 2:20. That’s my issue: I forget and try to live my own life rather than allowing Christ to live through me.

God has been teaching me about something similiar lately….It goes something like this:
Lately, the Spirit has been leading me to pray that I would desire Jesus and nothing else. That I would literally desire Him alone. Then He started showing me scripture about materialism vs. enjoying what He has blessed us with. Then I started getting confused…Can I enjoy these material things when I say that I only want Jesus?….later, I realized the answer to this question is yes, but I was struggling with this at first. Then I would get wrapped up in guilt and fear that these things I was enjoying would somehow turn into idols. I was talking to Erica today and she helped point out to me that God wants us to enjoy the things he has given us. Its ok to enjoy a cup of coffee!!!! I get so scared that I am going to idolize something, I end up living in fear and listening to Satan’s lies that “I can’t enjoy anything”. Those are lies! That’s living in slavery, not freedom. We are under GRACE, not slavery. I was getting wrapped up in guilt myself, questioning my motives, and forgetting to just enjoy life with God. Reading your blog reminded me of this.

Hoorah for blogs!

My windows face the sidewalk and busy street, so sometimes it’s a bit scary to have the windows open. If I lived elsewhere, I would definitely agree that having the windows open is a must.

Thanks for this. I agree with you completely. I don’t think kids are exposed to creativity like we were when we were young. I think that a lot of people who struggle with stress aren’t being creative. That may not make any sense to you or to others but when I’m going through tough times I feel a lot of emotions come on and I try to take it and apply to songwriting, poetry, singing, creative writing, etc. I even spend in time of worship. This may be going off the track here, but I think that we can imagine in worship. Imagine what God is like. That’s a little out there but it makes sense to me. I think that I’m going to be more imaginative. God has given all of us talents and I think that society defuses it. Good words! Thanks!
