"Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong."~ Habakkuk 1:13
Lord, today I have been convicted, yet forgiven... but have come to understand and experience your desire for my spirit.
I thank you Lord that you have given me the discernment and ear to hear you say that I should have not wasted your precious time :) As a woman who loves you more than anything, I wasted two hours watching a movie called Burlesque that had not eternal benefit for my own spiritual being. It involved a bunch of show girls, scantly dressed, performing in front of large groups of people. Was there any temptation to gaze upon their bodies- No! Praise God. Was there any lusting- No! Praise God :) Was my spirit affected by watching these women? Yes! As any woman of God's spirit would have been! I don't want to be comfortable, and I will never watch this, or any movie like this again- with the help of the Holy Ghost- but I am even uncomfortable now with what my eyes have seen.
Lord! You even gave me a way out :) But I didn't take it, because in my mind, I didn't want to walk out on friends, the same ones who were comfortable with watching this movie, minus one! Lord, I ask that you would not take away the discernment that you have given me. But that every time I feel you pulling on my heart, as you do often, that it wouldn't be a battle! That I would just obey!
Thank you for your forgiveness! I ask that you would cleanse my mind and my heart, and that with the new mercies that you offer us all, that you would wash my slate clean as you promised in 1 John 1:9 :)
Your Child!
Grace and Forgiveness
