I can’t blame another. Excuses are nowhere to be found.
I am to blame.
The sad part is, this isn’t a singular instance.
I have been my own worst enemy from birth. The biggest obstacle I have had to overcome is myself.
Daily, I have had to battle my desires. Every minute I must force myself to fight my fleshly tendencies. I strive to desire Godly desires.
I want to do whats right. I desperately want to please God.
Yet, often I fail. I fall way short of Gods’ standard of perfection.
“I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.” – Romans 7:15
I don’t know what you struggle with, but if you’re anything like me; you struggle with selfishness, anger, lust, and the list goes on and on.
Honestly, at times I wish God would instantly take those desires and negative emotions away. My life would be much simpler and easier if He would just take the negative out of my life.
Isn’t it funny how we deceive ourselves into thinking that we are smarter than God Almighty, the One who created us.
Proving my point.
I am my own worst enemy, especially when I think I know more than the Creator of the Universe.
