It is often the case that when we resolve to do something we also resolve to not do something. If I resolve to eat healthy, I must also resolve to not eat unhealthy. If I resolve to speak only kindness, I must also refuse to say critical and judgmental words. Of course if we spend our energy living what is good we will have little left to practice the bad.
"Put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires…and put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness." Eph.4.23 Conversations Within” ts 1/1/2022
