Romans 7: 15-20, 24

15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature. ^[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.

24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Romans 7:15-20, 24

This passage is really convicting for me. I mean it's all true! I don't understand what I do on a daily basis, things I do sinfully I keep on doing, but I do not want to do it. And things I want to do, like honor God I do not do as often as I should.

And who can or would want to rescue me? Try the most loving being ever, Our heavenly Father.

My Pastor spoke on this passage two weeks ago during service and it just hit me really hard that I sin a lot, even when I know it's wrong, and even when I know what I should be doing I still repeat the same sin over again. And I also know that I'm responsible for my own sin, and it might condemn me but.. I can't stop doing it! Why why can't I? when I KNOW it's wrong and I want to stop I cannot, yet what I want to do I cannot. Why is life so hard? Why so difficult to comprehend? I will be spending a lot of time on my knees in prayer for the next few weeks trying to figure this out. :|
