Love transforms apparent weakness to strength.

Romans 7:19

For I do not do the good I want, but I do the evil I do not want.

St. Paul is telling us about his ongoing inner-conflict.

It’s no doubt familiar to each of us…this struggle between wanting to do what is good and another desire to do what is not.

This is not the place to hide from God in shame…but is instead the place to surrender to God’s grace.

We are not involved in some “worthiness” contest to achieve or merit God’s love.

Look at what happened to St. Paul. When he was still known as Saul…he was a persecutor of Christians. His conversion came by the total grace of God…no achievement of his own.

Did it ever occur to you that God wants to be with you in your inner turmoil?

How else would you ever experience what Unconditional Love is?

Several verses after today’s scripture above, St. Paul went on to write, “Miserable one that I am! Who will deliver me from this mortal body? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 7:24-25).

The name “Jesus” literally means “Yahweh saves.” Jesus has already shown us that God is willing to go to any length to show us Love.

Allow this Love to transform you.
