Passion

My sin is that my heart is pleased or troubled
as things please or trouble me,
without having a regard to Christ;
Thus, I am like Eli,
the subject of punishment for not rebuking sin;
whereas I should humbly confess my sin
and fly to the blood of Christ for pardon
and peace.

What a convicting thought--that I am only pleased or troubled as life's circumstances directly affect me. This convicts me of my own shallow and self-centered nature!
