The Spirit is Willing

“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” St. Paul

“I know what to do, I just can’t do it!” This is the cry I hear so frequently. People know that love will serve them the best. They know that arguments, disgruntlement, and yearning for what they don’t have serves them poorly. They yearn for peace, contentment, positive engagement, and the desire for what they already have.

But, the flesh is weak, as Paul groaned long before we came along.
