"For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want."
Romans 7:19
St. Paul is calling it real today, Friends! There is no self-righteous arrogance here. He calls it like he sees it. He knows what is right and he does the opposite. He sees himself as he is: a human being who just doesn't measure up. The only glimmer of hope he can see is that God still loves him, Jesus still saves him, and THAT is the only thing he has going for him. Walking in the Way is not easy for anyone. Our human nature is still human, even though we follow Jesus. But let's not forget Jesus was human too, and he realized first-hand what it feels like to struggle against our own nature to do the right thing. Jesus, thank you for understanding my weaknesses, fears, anxieties and thank you for loving me anyway. My desire is there--to walk in your Way--just help me get my humanness out of the way! Help me to stay faithful to the journey! Blessings on your weekend! Love, heidi
