When I base my decisions and actions on all of my parts, I am in a danger zone. I am so good at being deceptive.

 

We see this all the time in the world around us.That which is sinful is called “good.” Seeking the truth at all cost leads to “intolerance.” Disagreeing with someone else is called, “hate.” Life without God is upside down.

 

There is hope. I don’t have to do what my thoughts, feelings, body, social pressures, and my very soul itself tell me to do. There is the freedom of choice that is my heart. God can take action in my choices.

 

Left alone without God’s influence, my heart can’t handle the pressure. I will do the things I know are wrong and not do the things I know are right. Life without God is life ruled by me or the devil. 

 

Honestly, I can’t trust myself to have my own best interest at heart. My choices will be ruled by my desires rather than by God’s desires. I will not even acknowledge that I am not doing right. All my parts will find a way to convince me that I am OK. I will hear the “truth.”

 

“Go with your instincts.”

“You deserve it.”

“Everyone else is doing it.”

“You’re only human.”

 

Life without God is as dangerous as it can possibly be because it will seem so “natural.” There is another way.
