James 4:8-10 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
When was the last time that you were sincerely saddened by your own sinfulness?
When last were you ashamed of your sinful actions, even when no one knew of them?
There is very little broken-ness over our sin. We have become people who are very flippant toward sin. We wink at it, joke about it ... yet these are the very things that God despises, that Jesus paid for on the cross. Have we become so numb to our own sin and the sin around us that it no longer bothers us .......... May God grant us repentance!
