A city without walls

Proverbs 25:28 “Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self control.”
And I'm praying that we will see
Something there in between
Then and there that exceeds all we can dream

And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between
And all these twisted thoughts I see
Jesus there in between

I can't sleep!! Insomnia has plagued my body. I know I'm tired, but I just can't seem to sleep. I want to talk to someone. I just don't think I should so I'll blog. I will blog until the words on the screen blur together. I will blog until I feel like crying. I will blog until my fingers and wrists scream UNCLE! I will write until I finally fall asleep.

One day I believe I was bitten by a mosquito. I then had this intellectual realization. Mosquito bites are kind of like sin. Okay maybe mosquito bites are closer to temptation then sin. You see a mosquito bite is apart of the flesh calling you to scratch it so you can feel "relief" for the moment. Now the sin comes in when you start scratching. ( Now I'm not saying that it's a sin to scratch a bug bite I'm just trying to make a point here.)

When you first start scratching it feels good. When you continue to start scratching you will eventually turn that bite into open flesh. As you continue to scratch you will leave a scar.

Here's the good news. God has blessed every single person with his holy spirit. The holy spirit is kind of like the calamine lotion you would put on your bite to soothe the itching. The holy spirit gives you self control. You have a choice whether to let the holy spirit take control or let your flesh take control.

Do you want your skin the same way you had it before you got bitten or do you want it filled with scars?

1 Peter 1:13
Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
