I know that free will exists and that we can make choices, good or bad. Even though I still know this, I myself still struggle with not making the choices I know I need to make, and I know I'm not alone on this. I know some choices I make aren't right, yet I still make them. Why is this? I wish I could make good, healthy choices all the time. Wouldn't it be beautiful if everyone did, said, ate/drank everything that was good and all the nastiness left the Earth? Sweet heaven, I can't wait to get away from the temptations and ugliness down here. In the mean time I'll keep working on stamping out my bad choices and asking for the Lord's help. He certainly knows of the destructive behavior I have.
Being human, you probably struggle with making bad choices too. I am not a psychiatrist, so I don't know why we have the weaknesses we do. I pray you find the strength to break away from those choices that keep you from being truly happy and able to make a tremendous difference down here. I say this to you as I say it to myself. I have a healthy sized list of destructive behaviors I'm going to be working on. I'm going to be looking for a way out, an escape from these choices.
2 out of the list of my many nasty choices:
Unhealthy Foods
Laziness
"No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
