Saw this phrase in an email today. Thought it held a lot of meaning.
When things are new…relationships, jobs, cars, etc. we are quick and intentional to pay attention, to cater, to care for and to protect.
When the first scratch on the new car, we are irritated but it’s there.
The third or fourth ding does not bother us as much.
The first argument a couple engages in is usually followed by immediate heartfelt apologies and regret and affirmations of love.
Time and repetition dulls us to those initial feelings. It diminishes our intent to hold close and protect those relationships and possessions.
Does the repetition of our sin cause any diminished intent on behalf of our Savior?
Don’t let life diminish your intentions
