Fever

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? ~ 1Corinthians 3:16

There are times we are not our normal 100% selves and a bit under the weather. It may have happen because we let our guard down and did not take our vitamins or wash our hands as much as we should have. There are ways that we can keep our immune system up and can fight off an illness or at least lesson the time of it. The same can be said about sin in our lives. 

   We can help ward off sin if we are spiritually healthy and have our guard up as well. You know the basic ways of staying spiritually healthy, go to mass, have a prayer life, read the bible, and find spiritual readings. Those are basic ways but what even goes further is to look around you. What and Who is around you? Do they support the life that you want to lead? If they do not then some things will need to change. This is not an excuse to get rid of people in your life but be smart about it. No one can make you sin but yourself. Other people can make it easier for you by presenting the sin but that is where it ends. 

    It is up to us to keep our guard up and be watchful for what is around us. We either allow or block those things that cause us to step over the line and sin. It has always bothered me when people blame others for their own sins. It is easier to do that then deal that it is in ourselves that allowed us to sin. We are human and there are times that we will sin. That is a fact of life because we are not perfect but it is in the way we handle the sins that define us. 

    If we hold onto the sins and not release them in reconciliation we can become spiritually unhealthy. It is easier to continue down that path of sin if we do not seek healing and turn away from it. This is a perfect time during advent to do this. It is a new beginning and a new year for you. Take this advent and make yourself spiritually healthier then you did during the year.

Until tomorrow, God Bless, and take your daily dose of God to keep your sin immunity up.
