While it is our body which is seen and interacts with the physical world around us, our soul is what drives the body more times than not. Our Soul is our mind, emotions and will. In other words, it is with our souls that we think and develop thought patterns, how we experience all sorts of emotions and where we house what we want from ourselves, others and life in general. Sadly, because of The Downfall, our soul has been tainted with this “I think, I feel, I want” that centers all on “Me, Myself & I” MMI. This happened the moment sin entered into our forefather’s hearts, separating their spirit from God’s. The spirit died and received all the self-centered and negative attitudes that cause the soul to become all about “ME!” (Mt 15:19) This is the curse of sin; the penalty is eternal death…unless we surrender to Jesus as Lord and Savior and receive Life, that is. God Who knows everything, knew humans would turn away from Him, but He made The Way for us to return. (Jn 14:6) Praise God!
