Want to do Good

"So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me."  
Romans 7:21


Do I REALLY want to do good?  Yes!  And... no.  Paul dialogues the inner struggle so well!  Like him, my heart is corrupt.  And down deep, I think we'd all rather be God than be good.  That's sort of the Garden of Eden dilemma, isn't it?


Thanks be to You, God, that you rescue me in this continual struggle.  Give me the power to both want and do your will moment by moment!
