Me: Howdy Prodigal!

Prodigal:  I was just alone with my thoughts.

Me:  Do you care to share?

Prodigal:  Not these thoughts…lol

 

This is from Michel de Montaigne

There is no man so good, who, were he to submit all his thoughts and actions to the laws, would not deserve hanging ten times in his life.

 

We are sinners.  That is why we need Jesus.  Do not put any leader on a pedal stool including me.  This is the reason why.  We may  have done a lot of good that day with our interactions with others.
We may have said all the right things, but can we go a day without some of our thoughts turning negative.  “I wish they would just be quiet.”  “Why are they even here.”  “They are not as deserving as I am.”  I will not list the thoughts that are even more evil.  Praise God though we can repent, we can see that we really do need our savior everyday.  We may have perfected the outside that fool many people, but we always need Jesus to keep us surrendering out hearts to him.

 

Genesis 6:5

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.
