Good Intentions
Aug 28, 2022There are so many times in my life that I have such good intentions.
-I intend to be home on time
-I intend to help with the dishes
-I intend to get up early and work out
-I intend to have a quiet time
-I intend to give my kids my best
-I intend to pray with my wife
-I intend to be generous with my money
-I intend to take Friday off
-I intend to share my faith
-I intend to live like Christ
Good intentions tend to be detrimental to my most valuable relationships. Good intentions are toxic to my relationship with God.
Good intentions appear to be righteous, but really only delay obedience. Delayed obedience is disobedience.
Good intentions set high expectations, but then disappoint as they are never met.
What I need is to stop intending to do good, and start living intentionally.
