Wholesomeness is my biggest challenge

Daily writing promptWhat are your biggest challenges?View all responses

In this world
That is so blind
To what is right,
The wholesomeness
Of a clean heart
And pure mind
Is hard to find.
I have to look
To the light
Of Jesus Christ
And let Him be
Always bright
In my sight
So I can stay
Connected with Him
Both day and night.
I strive to
Continually
Surrender my life
To Jesus
So His Spirit
Can clear it
Of all that’s unclean
And keep me filled
With His presence.

The wholesomeness
Of inner cleansing
And forgiveness
Is true bliss
Because suddenly
All guilt is gone.
That is why
I sing Christ’s song.

The wholesomeness
Of God’s forgiveness
Is never boring.
It’s always soaring
In the bliss
Of a pure heart
And a clean mind
Free from all guilt.

When life is hard
And I need to cope
I don’t find hope
In a bottle or a bar
But in a special Book
That helps me see
Christ in me,
“The hope of glory.

Modern media present a lifestyle of rebellion, guilt, and shame as exciting, but a lifestyle that produces mental and moral inner peace and well-being as boring. Wow! They’ve got it so wrong.

There’s no true freedom without wholesome restraint. If you give in to every desire that comes your way, you’ll be an inner mess. To continually consume words and images that are unwholesome is to become loathsome and bound up by inner confusion, even if no one but you knows the true condition of your heart and mind.
