I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

"The Bible seems to teach that every time we say no to the Lord, there is a hardening that happens to our hearts, there is a callusing that takes place, and a searing of the conscious that happens....the problem with that is that once the heart gets hard, it begins to develop disbelief; and disbelief always leads to disobedience, which leads to a breaking off of intimacy." -Britt Merrick

Let me tell you that this is true. Its crazy how pushing away Gods voice shatters your ability to have faith and leads to utter confusion. It is scary to feel that lost. While it's awful, it is also kind of cool to see that once we have become new creations in Jesus, that living for yourself becomes impossible. It's way too miserable. I guess it's sort of reassuring. (But don't test it out ok?! Just be reassured by the Bible haha)

"Lord Keep your servant from deliberate sins! Don’t let them control me." Psalm 19:13
