You've Got That Sinking Feeling

By Davis
Remember being a kid and getting that sinking feeling in your stomach when you did something wrong. I remember coming home from school one day and seeing both my parents car in the driveway. I was a 'latchkey" kid so my parents were never home when I got off the school bus...

1 John 3:24

Those who keep his commandments remain in him, and he in them, and the way we know that he remains in us is from the Spirit that he gave us.

 

Remember being a kid and getting that sinking feeling in your stomach when you did something wrong. I remember coming home from school one day and seeing both my parents car in the driveway. I was a 'latchkey" kid so my parents were never home when I got off the school bus. But that day they were and I knew why. I had messed up big time! I remember exactly what I did but that is between my parents and me. Thought you were going to get some ammo on me didn't you! Anyway, I knew what I was doing when I messed up and I remember getting that same feeling in my stomach when I did it. But I ignored that feeling and I paid the consequences.

 

In today's verse God tells us where that feeling comes from. It's the nudging of the Holy Spirit trying to keep us on the right path. Sometimes that feeling is slight, like when I messed up. Sometimes it's monumental, like when I saw my parents cars in the driveway. The trick lies in our ability to feel that nudging. That ability comes from following the commandments of Jesus. Jesus gives us the breakdown in Mark (12:30-31)  and Matthew's (22:36-40) Gospel. It's pretty simple actually love God and each other. That may not seem hard but sometimes it's a tough code to crack. My prayer in this new year is that I will be able to love those around me like Jesus loved. Not just the people I like but all people. What is yours?
