idols

I wonder what it means to be fully in Christ, to get rid of all your idols. What would really happen if we destroyed all of our idols? I always have liked to think (who wouldn't?) that I do not have any idols, because the obvious idols are not there. Obvious idols of alcohol, sex, dating in its wrong form, etc. I do not have these idols and I do not even have an idol of wanting to look at someone else's opinion above God's. Yet, what would happen if we searched and removed the idols that are hard to find? What would happen to my relationship with Christ? Maybe all of the pain that I am struggling with right now is because of the idols that are separating me from Him. My idols of self, internet, lust, laziness, gluttony, anger, sleep, and even music/movies. What would happen if we were honest with ourselves and stopped trying to justify and get as close to the edge of sin as possible? How close can I get without sinning? Yet, we are to run away from these things! I must persevere and run toward my Savior, who promises comfort and peace.

What would happen if we removed all of our idols? I think it is beyond our understanding, to grasp how magnificent God could work through us!
