Finger Nails (James 1:21)

Do you know what irritates me?

I dislike it when my finger nail keeps growing longer and longer.

But it's God's design...so please forgive me.

Yesterday, Jay Hom or Homenukie or Jomenuke, or whatever you want to call him, was digusted by my long finger nails.

Eliza was also digusted by it.

"You're a man dude, and you should cut your finger nail and groom yourself."

Ok fine.

So this morning, I finally cut my finger nails.

So I was thinking, hmm...this could another one of those interesting analogies that I like to share.

It is like our sin.

If we let our sin to grow continually, then our heart will be snared by it.

Lets use pornography as an example.

We watch a little bit, and 5% of our heart has been snared.

Watch a little bit more, 10% of our heart has been snared.

Watch a little bit more, 20% of our heart has been snared.

By the time we even notice about it, we lust(for guys I think), have impure thoughts and masturbation.

As a result, a 100% of our heart has been snared by our sin, our act.

I look at my finger nails, it grows so long, and I get digusted and annoyed by it that I tend to get into a habit of biting it.

I look at my sinful nature, I get disgusted by it.

I like to add my main verse on the title 'cause that'll be SWEET!

"Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you."

When I just read this again, I was like...get rid of the "accepted word"?

No, the verse is telling us to put away our sinful nature, and in humility you accept the word of God, which can deliver you from sin.

So in this "awkward" analogy, I cut my nails...getting rid of my disgusting looking finger nails and make them shorter again, but it'll continue to grow.

So, get rid of our digusting finger nails...if you believe it is digusting...if that is in a female perspective 'cause they tend to have longer nails...NOT TRYING TO BE SEXIST.

Put our sins to aside(forever hopefully) and focus on the word of God.

Our sins will grow again and tempts us.

This is part of our spiritual growth...facing our "desperations" to cut off our nails.
