Are we loosing who we are?

We are losing who we are supposed to be. If we are giving into sin in any way, we are not the gift to God that He meant us to be. If I am overweight, say 80 lbs. I am 80 lbs more than I am supposed to be, so I am not the person on the outside He made me to be. I may say I am the same on the inside, but I think we are deceiving ourselves when we say that, because if we sin a little, we are affected a lot. If I sin, my hearing of The Lord goes way down, I just can't hear Him as well. When we don't hear Him as well, it changes us. We start focusing who we are, or who we are not, instead of who He is. We change, we get hard, cold, not as caring or attentive as we once were. We may even seem to cease as a gift. The less we walk with The Lord, the less of a gift we become, for it is in Him that all good things come. We are not good on our own, we are wretched, unrighteous filth...oh man, that seems harsh, doesn't it, and yet isn't that what He saved us from? The moment we leave His side, all that nasty stuff wants to try and come back on us again, but it doesn't come all right away, just a little at a time, bit by bit. Then boom, we look up and see a different Lord, we see a different us, we see everything different because we can no longer see with His vision. We are now looking at everything with our natural eyes, and can no longer see with His vision. We lack clarity because we lack vision, and without a vision, we will perish. I am bound by nothing but Jesus Christ, but when I enter sin again, I become bound to it again, instead of Christ. Then I miss so much of what He wants to give me, the wisdom, the peace, the joy, all the wonderful fruits of the Spirit that I choosing not to have, because I have chosen to walk in my flesh, instead of His Holy Spirit. "Lord, forgive me.
