When life is a sinking boat

Daily writing promptWhat could you do more of?View all responses

I could do more of many different things, but if I did more of some things, the quality of my life would be much lower. Some of my thoughts, desires, feelings, and behaviors confuse me and capture me with deception. They harm me while they lie and trick me into believing that they are good for me. To make my life better, I need to recognize the things that try to sink my boat, resist them, and do less of those things.

I bet you’re in the same sinking boat that I was caught up in — drifting through life without discernment — following the current of whatever whims come my way. It’s such an effort to bail out of that sinking boat, but there’s someone offering to help rescue you from drowning.

The living Jesus pulled me out! To show my gratitude I seek to follow and obey Him as I live my life and to adore Him more and more.
