That story could have been written about me. ...Wow! That story could have been written about me. Except I never had the Punch Bowl Experience. Never did the one big thing.....but I am selfish, quick tempered and too busy every day. It's not the big ones that get me. The million little ones throughout the day trip me up.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811548306583601019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29122445.post-54889536154336546822009-07-23T08:52:02.049-05:002009-07-23T08:52:02.049-05:00I guess there is no such thing as a "compensa...I guess there is no such thing as a "compensation" sin.<br />No matter what you have given up for the Lord, No matter what you do or say that brings glory to Him, No matter how much you give and give and give-----God doesn't do things like the world----you're not compensated for you're good deeds by being allowed to do 'something else' that sounds like fun or helps you through the day. Sometimes I live my life with compensation things. I've given this, I've done that then I should be allowed to do this. I know better, but I still struggle.

I no longer think that "being good = boring." Living in such a way that is holy and pleasing to God brings a rest and peace to my soul that no amount of "yes, it is" can possibly bring.
