Numbness

Its not just something you feel when a doctor or a nurse draws up Lidocane in a syringe and puts in you to numb an area of the body. It can also be felt in the soul and the mind if you aren't careful. You feel nothing you go about doing the same monotonous things every day. you tend to exist and not feel. Whether it be from past pain such as events that have left scares and deadened the area that was affected so you don't feel it anymore. You just tent to exist going through your every day tasks and getting to the end of the day and not remembering what you did of if you felt anything. What is even more dangerous than just being numb during every day events is being spiritually numb. God wants us to exist for Him and wants to exist in us. We should always be alert to the temptations and sins of this world if we aren't and we don't resist them they become part of us. It can happen gradually over time, I used to think that you would feel it instantly that pricking sensation, but sometimes we don't we tip a little and taste its bitter sweetness and before you know it you've drank half the cup. Then we feel, we feel guilt remorse and shame. Some may cry silently while others may weep and wail. We should feel all these things our hearts should be broken because we have broken our Saviours heart. He spilt His blood for us he felt pain so that we could be in His kingdom. Its a price we will never have to pay and its a pain we will never feel. Look, look deep inside and see if the things that are there are pleasing to Him. Don't let the slow suttle sins engulf you to the point that you have become numb.
Now to some people this post may seem dramatic to people but I hope that it benefits and feels real to someone who reads it.
