Dear Thabo: Don't become discourage until you no longer desire to stop sinning. Should that happen in your life, you are will be in big trouble. Remember:
Pro 24:16 For a just man falls seven times, and rises up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
"Seven" in Scripture can mean complete or perfect, but it also has a similar meaning to the number 1000, which can mean "as many as there are or as long as is necessary."
God be with you,
Ray
