How do you know whether you are spiritually healthy or sick?
You must take the following spiritual vital signs each day:
1. How much time do you spend each day thinking about God?
2. How thankful are you for God's blessings?
3. Are you sorry for what you have done wrong?
4. Have you confessed your sins sincerely and stopped short of dwelling on your guilt?
You should spend a portion of each day thinking about God,
His benefits and everlasting love
Not only his love, but also his kindness,
And the fact that he never delights in judgment,
But wants us all to repent,
To be truly sorry for what we have done wrong,
But not to dwell on our guilt.
To live well, we must take the spiritual medicine
God has given us to help us get our spiritual vital signs under control
And help us to do what is right, just, and fair.
Amen.
