Beloved–
So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. (from Galatians)
Whenever I work up the courage to root out the real source of my sin, I cringe (frequently crying my eyes out) when I recall how often I have arrogantly told my Lord and Savior that, “I got this. My plan is better than yours. I don’t need you.” How can Jesus love me when I’m so mean and hateful, yet his grace and mercy is beyond measure. Praise be to the triune God who loves and forgives. I pray for you to want to get to the real source of sin.
Luv Ya!
