rvhhill, It seems that the love of God, wanting to do good...all of that also comes from God. Like God doesn't tell you to go start doing good without first putting the desire in you. Feeling these things was, for me, a first step I think. Not that I do a lot of good now either but I am starting to see a progression, which gives me hope. He is faithful to His promises and He will lead you the rest of the way. I love scripture you had below (along with the surrounding verses):
We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do, I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do----this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it. So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God---through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God's law, but in the sinful nature a slave to the law of sin. Romans 7:14-25
I find this comforting. Paul spoke of himself as a work in progress. I find it so comforting that he felt this way. We are not alone and all struggle with similar things, even the apostles.....amazing!
