Oh, if I have to let my hair grow out, if I have to stop smoking cigarettes, or quit going down to the pool room, I don’t want nothing to do with it.” Don’t worry, He won’t stay long. Pride… There’s another little heart door in there called “your own private life.” You don’t want nobody dilly-dallying with that. “I live my life. I do this, that, or the other. It’s nobody’s business what I do.” Haven’t you heard that old proverb? But I tell you, you are not your own. You are bought with a price, and you belong to God. You have no right to your own privacy. God should know everything, and He does know everything that you do. And He should have the right to that door”
