We all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Don’t let others sin hurt you!

Romans 8:5 "Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their mind set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind of the sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace, 7 the sinful mind is hostile toward God.   It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.   8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God."    A friend of mine was talking about someone that can not seem to leave her destructive life choices alone.  This persons addiction is impacting my friends Heath.   We all have sin!!  Not one of us have all good life choices!!!  We stay in our poor choices because we are comfortable in the familiar.   Changing our lives is hard work and even scary.   We can not control other peoples behavior.    We can control how  we let their behaviors affect our lives.   Alanon is a group formed to help loved ones of alcoholics manage life regardless of their very sick loved one.   I mention this group to illustrate that it’s a huge problem for many people dealing with other peoples sinful behavior.   We all have sin!!!  Through Jesus we can let go of our sin and be filled with His righteousness.   We can only control ourselves, be inspired to look at your own sin and ask God for His help, to turn from it and turn to Him.   Ask Him to help your loved ones do the same and simply TRUST He will.   God works in His timing and His ways.   During your waiting may you stay hopeful!!   Romans 8:25 “But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait patiently for it.”πŸ˜‡πŸ™πŸ¦…πŸŒΈ❤️πŸ„‍♀️
