Most people have certain sections of their lives where, for various reasons (mostly unknown to themselves), they do not wish to make any change. These places are set aside and surrounded with an aura of spurious sanctity like the sacred cows of the East, which are considered too holy to be touched. But if you really mean business about regenerating your soul and body, there must positively be no sacred cows in your life.
Nothing is truly sacred but your own Indwelling Christ and the process of His awakening.
…Awake thou that sleeepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light(Ephesians 5:14).
How many negative sacred cows are we harboring and nurturing? The hurts we will never forgive, the condemnation so fervently believed, the guilt so deserved that we refuse to let them go. Just as the burning ember must be flicked away, these sacred cows must immediately be dispatched. Yet instead we hold them close and let them burn us time and again.
Let us free ourselves today from these burning coals of negative thought. Whether we started the flame that caused the burning ember, or it came from another, we are the only ones who can put it out. Today, we can be liberated from burning negativity by refusing to give it a place to burn us. Through forgiveness and prayer, we can not only extinguish the flame of negativity, we can flood it with living waters that turn the ugly burn into a beautiful lake. And by focusing on love, hope and joy, we can plant a garden by that lake that returns us the the Eden God intended for us.
Turn or burn,
