I hate it when I step on my own toes!!
I was just commiserating with friends about having to bail out one of my boys when he procrastinated on his homework again.
As I typed a variation of this paragraph:
“I try to avoid nagging because I hate being nagged myself.
So it really irks me when I have to bail them out at the last minute when they repeatedly ignored my warnings that time was running out.”
Ouch.
I wonder how many times God has said that about me?
I KNOW what I am supposed to do and don’t do it.
I KNOW what I am supposed to avoid doing, yet I keep doing it.
I KNOW that time is growing short.
Yet, here I am, continually ignoring the warnings…
Oh that I/we would just obey!
How much pain could we avoid? How many inconvenient (and sometimes humiliating and/or dangerous) consequences could we just skip altogether if
We. Would. Just. LISTEN?!
