Romans 7:15-25
Romans 7:15-25 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
15 For what I am doing, I do not understand; for I am not practicing what I would like to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate. 16 But if I do the very thing I do not want to do, I agree with the Law, confessing that the Law is good. 17 So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 18 For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not. 19 For the good that I want, I do not do, but I practice the very evil that I do not want. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me. 21 I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good. 22 For I joyfully concur with the law of God in the inner man, 23 but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members. 24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death? 25Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, on the one hand I myself with my mind am serving the law of God, but on the other, with my flesh the law of sin.

Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting
what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead Phil 3:13
I love philosophy and psychology in the infinite minds life has
continuously searched for in mankind’s continuous quest for answers, knowledge,
and wisdom. As I have my whole life studied multiple subjects from sociology,
psychology, all the way to studying astronomy physics, the universe, how it
works, how we work, why do we do what we do, where do we come from, who am I,
and who created the big bang? Whose idea was that? In search for such greatness
and discoveries, I have found only one true answer in life. There is A God! And
we are all beyond perennial as the grass to ever understand such infinite
greatness. . .
The answers to life is not in the edges of the universe or the beginning neither of the physical realm, nor anywhere outside of us . . . They answers are within us. It’s in our relationships with others, and most of all,
our relationship with God!
God is love! God is so awesome He created us for one purpose and one purpose only:
He created us because He wanted to have a relationship with us!

"The truth that most people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more you try to aviod suffering the you suffer because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you in proportion to you fear of being hurt."
~Thomas Carlyle
~Thomas Carlyle
Happiness comes more from loving than being loved; and often when our affection seems wounded it is only our vanity bleeding. To love, and to be hurt often, and to love again - this is the brave and happy life.
