Every girl, young or old, needs to look into a mirror regularly and ask herself some hard questions. Don't be afraid to do this. You can skitter through life acting like everything is ok and wake up one day in the flames of hell. Take the time to ask yourself the hard questions and demand honest answers of yourself….before it is too late.
- Are you not overly concerned about sin? How do you feel about those bad things you think, feel and do that go against what God has said in His Word? Are you truly concerned about sin?
- Do you hate it when you get caught for the wrong things you do?
- Do you turn in anger on those who reveal or "tell" on you?
Do you see your parent's or teachers' intervention at these "caught" times, as a big pain and you get mad at them for putting their nose into your situation?
- Do you have to be "talked" out of sinning? This shows belligerence, if you have to be convinced to not go do, what is wrong to do.
- Do you "know better", but choose to "do it" anyway?
- Do you see your sin as mainly a "weakness" or perhaps someone else's fault?
- Do you ever see the people who are trying to help you as "the problem"? You might say, "If they would just mind their own business, I'd be fine."
- Do you always "feel" sad or sorrow when you sin?
- Do you find yourself looking for just the right moment or just the right situation to happen, that you can use to justify yourself? Are you looking for someone to blame for why you do what you do?
Remember girls…You never have to convince a real Christian that once she is saved, she is supposed to be a new creature in Christ. (II Corinthians 5:17)
That is the part that tells on every phony Christian. Are you phony?
If you cannot answer these questions honestly and truthfully…you are developing a hard heart and may be well on your way to the consequences that will come to every hard hearted sinner.
