I am done with back and forth spirituality - of continuously going to the altar, laying my burdens down, and then picking them back up again.
The apostle James said that people who embrace back and forth spirituality are two-faced, fooling themselves. They listen, but they don't act. They're like people who look in the mirror and don't believe what they see.
I am done with making hollow promises to God.
I am done with Old Testament religion.
I am done with hearing and not doing, with confessing but not repenting, with dying to self but not living the Resurrection.
I am done with back and forth spirituality.
Are you?

I'm done with caring so much about trying to change people who have given themselves to evil that I destroy my own peace. I'm done with believing evil can be destroyed. I'm done with working against evil. I am ready to work for the light, just for the light. I'm done with hoping this can be done as an innocent. I accept that evil is a part of human life, and that my fighting against it only strengthens it. I am done waiting for people to see it, change it, change themselves. I will fight to bring the Light to the world, with all the grace I can. I am done beating myself up over my past mistakes, and assuming guilt for others' mistakes. I am ready to believe that God forgives me and loves me.
