I challenge you to OUST one thing from your life (today!) that prevents you from spending more time With Jesus!
Some good ones are: “doom scrolling,” social media addiction, alcohol, sodas, secular music, “so many Tylenols,” etc.
Some things become a crutch long after we finish needing them.
Some things take up hours per day instead of minutes.
Instead of watching cat videos for six hours a day, cut back to three hours and check in on some elderly relatives or neighbours!
As for the things listed above, other than alcohol, I’ve cut back on those things or cut them out completely, as well as scary movies, all movies actually, anything that sounds aggressive or angry or even seductive (music but also like podcasts), all occult things, and more, and have had zero anxiety, depression, or even stress greater than “every-day” level for about ten years now. I even stopped gaming (I was a pro and I still miss it, lol).
The time I saved (remember, the days are evil!) have gone into ministry and developing my spiritual gifts and connecting with those around me.
While life has many stresses in it, the more barriers between us and Jesus that we remove—and allow Him to remove!—the more of His Peace and Love and Joy we can feel, literally moment by moment.
I want this for you, my beloved friend!
Share with us below what you give or gave up and how it impacted your life (even if it didn’t go so well… ;) lol. That happens sometimes. Hehe :)) love you all :)))) ♥️🙏✝️
