"God never convicts us of sin to make sure we know how wretched we are, for he calls us the righteousness of God in Christ. Rather, God convicts us through His Holy Spirit because He is grieved when fellowship between us is broken. Learn to develop a thankfulness toward a keen conviction of sin and pray for it in the lives of your children. God's heart cry is 'Come Home.' " Beth Moore, A Woman's Heart God's Dwelling Place, Pg. 148.
Don't flee the conviction of God. It is evidence that the Holy Spirit is at work in your life. Is there an area of your life that God is putting His finger on that He wants to draw your attention to? Don't recoil, receive. God brings conviction not for the purpose of condemnation but for freedom. "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit." Romans 8:1; "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1
