Dear Glory Bound, What precious words you have posted! In them we read the desire of your heart. That desire for holiness only occurs in a regenerate heart. It was created in you by an act of our Sovereign Lord. To me, the very fact that you struggle is a sign of your salvation. Those who do not struggle with sin have succumbed to it. Where do we go when in doubt concerning anything that He has promised, but to the author and finisher of our faith, to the Lord Himself! While we pray for you, pray for us all! We all struggle with sin! Repentance is a way of life for the believer! Thank you for your vulnerability and openess! In Him, Doc |

Thanks folks. It appears that somehow I may have posted my original post twice. I appreciate your responses. It took little more than for me to open my bible, for me to remember the following. I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good. So then it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin which dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inmost self, but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin which dwells in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I of myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin. Romans 7:15-25.NIV I pray this passage will be as strenthtening to others as it, and your posts are to me. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. GB |
