in which i understand and relate to something in romans



showy orchis - a north carolina wildflower

i found comfort today
in romans 7:14-15
not the psalms kind of comfort
that tells me i am held
but
the paul kind
that tells me i am connected
it's when he admits
that he struggles to make the
right choices
that he isn't
perfect
we know that the law is spiritual but i am merely a
human,
and i have been sold as a slave to
sin
in fact, i don't understand why i
act
the way i do
i don't do what i know is
right
i do the things i
hate
this life
this christian living
is it even possible?
(i mean, paul struggled)
yes
it
is
and it's the easter message
found just a
few verses away
thank god!
jesus christ
will
rescue
me

and for these i am also thankful
