Conviction
Don't you just hate the twang of conviction...when you know you've done wrong and you feel like you're sitting on pins and needles, trying to pacify your conscience with good works and knowing all the time that you need to repent?
Don't you just love the twang of conviction...when you know you've done wrong and the Spirit of God reveals it to you? Don't you revel in the comfort of the pain because you KNOW that you are not so far from God that it's just a little discomfort instead of a deep, soul-writhing conviction?
God cares. The closer you get to Him, the more you are wrapped up in Him. The more you are wrapped up in Him, the sharper the needle sting of conviction over every sin in your life. When you're chastised, He loves you. He will the more readily chastise you for sin if you are willing and seeking to be made as Himself.
So don't hate conviction. Praise Him for it even as you seek His pardon.
Like I'm going to have to.
God bless!
