WHY DO WE DO IT? WHY DO I DO IT?
I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right,but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. Romans 7:15 NLT
I can empathize with what Paul was going through when he wrote this. He was addressing the sin issue in all of our lives and how it can be so overwhelming that even when we want to do what is right, we end up doing what we hate.
I can really relate to this verse so much right now. My relationship with God is not the best right now. I am not spending time with Him like I should and I am not exactly living the best life in the world. There is a lot of sin in my life right now and some things that are not sin, but are not right either. At least not for a Christian. I want to live my life so sold out to God. I want to so much, but I am still struggling with these things. That is why, I have decided to turn over a new leaf. No more of this wishy washy christianity. I want to be sold out, just like my myspace page says. So tonight I am going to spend a lot of time in prayer and confession and there is going to be some changes starting this evening.
It is time to stop living to please myself and start living to please my God.
