Sanctification

Cobbled together from found pics online - not my copyright

It just takes so long...

I was reading a post somewhere else about making a decision to stop listening to certain music on iTunes or Spotify or whatever.  To actually hit the delete key and get rid of the songs.  I've done it.  I've gotten rid of movies, albums, deleted files off the computer because I can't in good conscious keep them - maybe it's because of the content of the file - you know, it dishonors God or takes me to a place in my mind or heart that I really just shouldn't go.*

"I will set before my eyes no vile thing"

Or maybe it's how I got the item - you know, in the digital age, it's really easy - too easy, in fact, to obtain things - songs especially - illegally.  And should we care?  Well, yeah - and so I pay attention to that...

...sometimes.

And then I got to thinking about  how many times I've done that.  Downloaded the song.  Deleted it.  Downloaded it again.  How many times I've deleted files - but not all of them.  Or went and gotten them again.  Or whatever.  It's a process.  God's working on me...

I like how somebody said it.  "I want a solution.  God said, I give you a Savior."

Sanctification takes a long time.  But Jesus walks me through it.  It's not necessarily just get it over with today - but I still make the choice today... and maybe again tomorrow.  And again the next day.  And again next week.  And Jesus walks with me through it...










*Sorry....no porn...got out of that trap a long time ago...but so many guys struggle with that today, too, because it's literally right at their fingertips now...
