So you’ve got a hold of sin? You are not doing the things that you know are bad … very often.
Sin has no dominion over you. That is so wonderful. But how are you with failing to do what you know is good?
“If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.” – James 4:17
If you are like me, you periodically reflect on a situation and know that you were supposed
to do something (i.e. pray for someone, talk to someone, buy them
lunch, share Christ with them), and you failed to do it, for whatever
reason. It burns on your heart and you grieve, “why didn’t I just …”.
At times I feel that failing to do what is good inflicts more consequential damage than doing wrong.
If God is laying something on your heart, just do it, just say it, just share it.
You will never know what could have been if you only would have followed your heart.
