OCD

Just exactly what is it ? To really break it down ... SIN ! Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. To me it's just another excuse for being a control freak. This kinda relates to the last post. In my opinion it's wanting to control things that we have no right whatsoever to try and control. Especially if we cannot control what's in us. In reference to the Refrigerator ... keeping it clean on the outside means absolutely nothing if the inside is dirty. I've noticed many situations where the furniture had to be at exact positions. This astounded me to find an inch of dust on the picture frames right above a piece of furniture that just had to be in that exact spot. OCD can also relate to wanting to control others too. Why, then, should one be worried about others infractions. As the proverbial saying goes "They have enough rope to hang themselves". I am perplexed by people who wish to point fingers at others while completely disregarding the 3 fingers pointing back at them.(Gossip-Christianese for prayer request ... maybe ?) Why are we so addicted to control. I struggle with it too. How can I break lifelong habits ? By surrendering them to the Almighty One who can and will deliver me from it ... if only I will not pick it up 30 seconds after I surrender it. It's a constant battle with the Flesh.
Flesh minus the"h" turned around is "self"
