Today I was drilling holes in some PVC pipe to use for vents in our compost pile. While doing it, my cordless drill got really hot and started smoking. It smelled like crack does when being smoked and for a second or two I caught myself thinking that it smelled good. Then I came to my senses and walked away from it and when I came back it smelled nauseating. I felt sick to my stomach for the next hour or so and I'm so glad that I did. It reminded me of how sickening that part of my life was and how I don't ever want to go back to it. Like the smoke that came out of my drill and disappeared so was all that time that I wasted drinking and getting high.
I'm not that guy anymore and it's because of the work that the Holy Spirit has accomplished in me due to my faith in Jesus. It's funny, if I were still smoking that crap that smell would have been the very thing to make me want some but now it just made me sick. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
I really am a new creation and I owe it all to Jesus!
