Why Be Sad
"If you do well, will not your countenance be lifted
up? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door; and its desire is
for you, but you must master it."
– Genesis 4:7
Sin makes us sad.
We are happiest when we do well, right, and follow the
light.
Mastering anything, according to Robert Greene, author of
the book Mastery says the secret
ingredients to becoming a world master at something are “desire and time”.
Perhaps this helps us understand why Christ followers often find themselves overcome
by sin.
There are two desires within every Christian, the flesh and
the Spirit (Gal. 5:17) therefore, we must determine to desire and allocate time
for the things that build up the Spirit’s ability to work within us.
A Christ follower is happiest when following Jesus and sad
when he sins.Why be sad?
