Often we hold onto these toxic things in our lives and they become part of who we are. Often people that end up in hospitals are the people who ignore problems, they ignore the issues.Have you ever felt spiritually out of breath? Maybe it's toxic friendship or a lifestyle of blatantly sinning. Back to Leviticus 17:11 atonement is in the blood. Thankfully the blood of Jesus saves us. Christ dwells in us! The blood of Christ allows not only for our salvation but our hearts to function properly and therefore the rest of our body (life) to function properly. Because EVERYTHING we do FLOWS from the heart.
So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love - Ephesians 3:17 NIV
