Was just feeling some what negative-conscious yesterday. Do not know if there's really such a word =) but the feeling just came and every little thing I said, act or did I was conscious of it. Not that you shouldn't watch your act altogether but when I miss the mark of doing what is right in my eyes, I can't help but feel bad at times. Other times, it's not about doing what is right or wrong, but when we compare ourselves with others it drives us even more frustrated at where we are at that state.
I went to class that night carrying this feeling with me. I told myself not to worry about tomorrow but to leave today, but nothing change. Nothing feels as bad as having a bad conscious. Even the best of things may be happening to your surroundings, you are not truly enjoying it.
I talk to God. I confess my Righteousness In Christ but the feeling was still there.
As I lie down on my bed and listen to my mp3 each night before I sleep, the first song that was played was the Acoustic Medley song sang by Steven Curtis Chapman. All the guilt feelings I had just left me the moment it was played. The last time, I would have skip the song because it was too slow :) but in the silent of the night, it really brings out the beauty of the song. And that's the reason why I just love to listen to my songs at night. I felt His love back again, and tears just started streaming down my face.
That's when I realised, it's not what you do or not do(as what i thought earlier as highlighted in green) that made you Righteous-conscious. I may be doing things out of the best intention and yet carry with me a guilty conscious. Or I may be doing a wrong thing, but still feel right. It's never your actions that determines the state of your consciousness, but who you are conscious of today that determines your state of consciousness.
Am I conscious of His love, His mercy and His grace. When I heard that song, I knew His consciousness has taken over my guilty conscious. Even when I miss the mark, I no longer feel bad. And because I don't, outward circumstances line up with what's inside of me.
God's beloved, be conscious of His love. Remaining in a righteous conscious state is a flow from there =)
