Revelation 3:15-16
Revelation 3:15-16 (New International Version)
15I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.
Revelation 3:15-16 (The Message)
15"I know you inside and out, and find little to my liking. You're not cold, you're not hot--far better to be either cold or hot! 16You're stale. You're stagnant. You make me want to vomit.
I was talking with my family today and sharing with them some things in my life I have been feeling like God has been nudging at me to change. I have been trying to listen and follow, but my struggle has been with staying consistent with those changes. While I was talking with them I think the Holy Spirit was putting this verse from Revelation on my heart once again. God's truth is powerful and can be very painful, it cuts right to the issue. It seems that my flesh can be very cunning with me. I will try and try to hold onto the things that satisfy my flesh, and will try to make justifications for it. But God is good to bring the right truth to show me my true heart in the issue, and will bring to light the harsh reality that I am Still loving myself far too much and living a luke warm life.
