[Scriptures] Luke 5:32
I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
If you sin, that sin prevents you from realizing the work you should do
and from being able to take action on it.
From the time you sin until the time you repent of that sin,
you are unable to see the work that is connected.
Young grains are hard to see when the field is overgrown with weeds, right?
You can see the grain only if you get rid of all the weeds.
In the same way, you can see the work that you have to do
only if you completely get rid of the weeds and filth of sin by repenting.
Once you sin, you can’t go your path and you can’t do the work you should do
because you are busy paying the price for that sin.
Therefore, when you sin, rather than putting it off,
you have to wash it away by immediately repenting
like you would immediately wash something filthy off your body.
You must get out of the domain of sin by repenting as soon as you can.
That is the heart that the Lord gives you and the inspiration the Holy Spirit gives you.
You should not hurt lives out of anger and fury,
you should not hate your brothers out of jealousy or envy,
and you should not feel left out by Heaven;
but instead, you should always be thankful and grateful
within the Will of God and the Lord, and love both your brothers and the Trinity.
I bless you to live that way!
