Elements of Grace: Sin

Fridays are my worst day to blog.  In other words I rarely have a post on Fridays.  In order to resolve that I’m planning to have a reoccurring topic on Fridays called Elements of Grace.  In this my hope is to post more often on Fridays and focus my heart and mind more on my One Word.

I’ve decided that by deciding to participate in One Word 2011 I’ve opened my life up to the Holy Spirit to come in and rearrange this life I’ve so magnificently laid out.  Convictions happen more frequently.  I’m stopping to think before thinking, speaking, etc.  I find myself more grieved over sin that is both subtlety and blatantly not acts of grace [in addition to other sin].

This wasn’t something I expected.  I believe my expectations were that I would magically just start having grace towards people.  I never took into account that it meant purging anything out.

Have you noticed God purging out sin in your life via your One Word?
