Romans 7:15 NIV: I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.
It is a struggle to live righteously. It is especially difficult to live above suspicion of wrong doing. We live in a world of excuse makers, and unfortunately, many of us who are the children of God have adopted the self excusing mentality. The truth may be painful, it may be haunting and it may keep us up at nights, but it is something that must be faced. Like Paul, we must wrestle with it so that we can see ourselves as God sees us, so that He can continue His work of perfecting us without having to wait on us to open our eyes and admit that we are more prone to follow our own ways than His.
