Avoiding sin. It's what we all have to do. I've found myself trying to avoid it. Recently, I came to the realization that I needed to change. That doesn't mean I don't feel guilty when I sin, I do. It eats me up inside. But I sin again. Do the same thing, feel guilty. It came to the point where I was done. With God's help, I was going to change. I didn't like feeling controlled by whatever sin I was encountering. It made me feel awful, and I hated it. I knew that any sin that came into my life, had to be avoided. But I couldn't do it alone.
With God by my side, I've made some massive decisions. I was determined that I wasn't going to give into whatever temptation this world had to offer. It didn't matter what it was, even if it was small, I've tried to cut back. I've made some good decisions recently, too, which I've been so proud of. I know that God forgives us of our sins, and I love Him. I don't want to hurt Him, so I'm trying to be better. I know that I can be, so I'm not going to give up. I'm going to fight any temptation that comes my way. And I know I can do it.
Like the verse says, I'm going to watch my heart. I have to protect it from myself, the world, and the enemy. Because I want good things to flow from my heart. I want to be able to reach people. I don't want to show them bad ways and bad thoughts. I should be careful how I live. People are watching. Ultimately, I want to give some encouragement and hope to those that are also struggling with sin. It can happen. You can break those chains. But only with God's help. I certainly can't do it without Him. He's always there for me.
Like me, if you want to avoid sin, I would pray and read your Bible. Memorize scripture that'll help with the temptations you're facing in life. You can stop. You can be better. I've recently given up on some of my own problems and life has been easier. It's also freeing. There's nothing like it. Now, this doesn't mean, of course, that we'll never sin again. But we can fight back. We can do something. You can avoid sin. It's possible. Just stay close to God, and don't give up. Lastly, watch your heart. I know you and I can do it.
