Today I specifically prayed for a divine appointment from God: that I would be given the opportunity to share Jesus with a specific person. Within an hour, this person began to ask me questions about God. My impulse was to bypass the conversation.

Why?

Romans 7:19 says, "For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing."

*I did end up sharing the gospel with this person. But I'm still distraught about my sinfulness. And so greatful for "abundant mercy [which] blot[s] out my transgressions" (Psalms 51:1).
