Love & Hate

Pastor Rudd told us that we could blog about anything we wanted to, so I'm going to do just that. I hate kidney stones ever since last Wednesday I have been dealing with trying to pass a kidney stone and this makes the 16th stone I've had since 2004, and folks they hurt - they are uncomfortable - they just make life miserable.
Now the thing is I love my kidneys, I have to have them, they are important to me; without them I couldn't live. But I hate the fact that my kidneys produce kidney stones.
I feel very sure that this is the way our Heavenly Father sometimes looks at us. He loves us, he loves us so much that he doesn't want anything bad to happen to us; we mean a lot to him. But I know he hates the sin that our lives can produce. I believe we can rest assure that God hates the sin - but loves the sinner.
One quick thing to think about! My kidney stones come from my kidneys but my lifestyle, my eating habits, my physical health, and the things I do in my life that is what causes my kidneys to produce the stones. It's the same in our lives - it's our lifestyle, our habits and the things we do that produce the sin.
You know, it might just be a good idea for me to change my lifestyle and my habits so that I will not have any more kidney stones; maybe for other people it might be a good idea to change their lifestyle and their habits so that they will not have sin in their lives anymore.

A servant of HIS,
