Teaching Grace

Habits can be good. You should develop wholesome healthy habits.

But habits can become mindless and heartless routines.

The Christian life is full of good habits, but these habits often degenerate into empty shells, dry husks of what they were meant to be. Habits can actually start to become a shield and a screen against what God desires to do in your life. Don't hide behind your habits while keeping your heart, soul and mind far away from the uncomfortable light of God, the light of God that both reveals you to be worse than you ever dared believe, but loved more than you had ever dared hope. God's light both wounds and heals.

Reconnect your habits to your heart. Let God ignite that flame in your soul again.
