I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate, I do.
(7:15 NIV)
Why, so many times, do I do the things that I hate? I want to be kind, loving and forgiving but when I am persecuted, I want to retaliate, and I know that is wrong. It is the sin that fights against my spiritual man within me.
When I give into the temptation to be angry, I sin against God and the one in whom I became angry with. I must work with the Holy Spirit and surrender to Him when I am tempted.
Be Encouraged! We are all tempted to do the wrong thing but with God’s help we will overcome.
