Suppose you were a stage artiste and you were to play the role of a woman, though you are actually a man.
Don't be ashamed to call quits on bad habits |
You would put on a woman's dress and wig, talk and perform like a woman. But you will not forget that you are a man at the end of the act.
You would eventually get off the stage and go back to the dressing room, change into your real clothes and walk down the street. When you set out to work on Monday morning, you will talk and live like a man. It would be ridiculous for you to go back to work talking and behaving like a woman, the way you did on your role play the other night.
The same thing applies to you now. You acted in the wrong way before you knew it was wrong ( I'm not saying being a woman is a bad thing ) but now you have a new life that makes you differentiate the right from wrong.
You have been playing the role of a woman for a long time and sometimes you forget yourself and start acting like one. But then you remember again that you are actually a man and correct yourself. This is where you say " oh! I'm not a woman! I'm not on stage acting, i have to be real.!"
That is simply the same way you should stop a bad habit. No matter the habit, when you remember, and you will surely remember, STOP! Do not let the cycle of sin go on and on, and do not be ashamed or afraid to tell anyone involved in it that you cannot take part in it.
Get rid of bad habits by replacing them with good ones. Do this deliberately . Find out Godly character traits and train yourself in them through practice and you will be free from the suffering and evil of this 'cruel' life we live by today.
look for Godly character |
