Overcoming the Struggle Against Sin

Romans 7

Inspired thots

It is SO easy to get side-tracked from God...
From salvation, my faith is built up easily and readily with the heart soil opened to the new things of God...
But once I start growing, it seems the sinful nature keeps springing up on me.

The STRUGGLE begins... the saga continues throughout life as I must consciously be alert to the deceptions and the creeping up of the sinful nature time and again.

It is so easy to let my guards down; but then, I shall be engulfed! How horrifying the thought... when I had invested so much time and effort to reach this level of understanding and maturity. Letting my guards down would mean taking 2 steps back when I have made 1 step forward. How awful the thought! No way I want that path. God, have mercy on me. Keep a FRESH Spirit within me. Let me have your joy.
Thank you, Jesus.
