“I know, but…”
This has to be the single most limiting factor in my own personal growth today.
It smacks of conceit, doesn’t it.
It means I possess knowledge & understanding that I’m unwilling to apply. Plain and simple.
I know that eating less sweets would help me lose weight, but…
I know exercising regularly will give me more energy, but…
I know that turning my phone off in the evening would result in increased attention to the people that matter most in my life, but…
I know that investing more time in prayer would increase my intimacy with the Lord, but…
I have this interesting way of living life in the ‘but’.
And the stench is getting to me.
Compelling word picture! Won’t forget this one!
