Don’t be controlled by your fallen DNA or your family disfunction. We have all been born with a propensity to sin, even to particular sins. Fatalism stops there. Redemption starts there. Allow the Holy Spirit to dig up these roots and plant Himself in their place. Surrender! Yield! God gives us his Spirit to shape us in His ways, from all the ways we may have been misshaped. None of us come to this shaping process already formed.
“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me. Behold, You desire truth in the innermost being, And in the hidden part You will make me know wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow” Psalms 51:5-7 (NASB).
