I hesitated choosing this word for the simple fact it’s not very spiritual sounding. 🙂 But when I looked up the meaning of the root word (toxin aka poison):
a) A person, ideal, action or situation that is considered to have a destructive or corrupting effect or influence. b) A substance that inhibits the activity of another.
I knew it was the right word for me. Though I do not do drugs or drink, my life right now is full of toxins: toxic relationships, toxic thoughts and toxic habits. My goal this year through the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit is to identify and remove these toxins. My Bible verse is 2 Cor 7:1 …….”Therefore since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.”
