THIS FLESH

I condemn this selfish, self-centered flesh.

For it desires what it wants.
Malice, greed, impulses and pride.
Things that are not of God’s will.
Yet, THIS FLESH cheers itself on, only wanting to fulfill its own will.
 
THIS FLESH is so conceited.
That it even attempts to mislead my heart.
Narcissistic it has become by calling what is wrong, right.
A fool, yes as a fool it endorses what it loves by rejecting holy righteousness.
Denying TRUTH, indulging lust, forsaking HOPE for a single night of unforgiveness.

Why do I battle to deny myself from what is GOOD?
God is good!
But the cravings of THIS FLESH don’t want to welcome it.
So I condemn it.
Beat it.
Into submission because I refuse to position myself to relive the old me.
I choose to be free.
Free from THIS FLESH who only thinks of self.
And refuse to recognize the new me.
 
So I seal my lips.
And close my eyes tight.
Refusing to call sin my friend.
For there is no victory in the end.
 
THANK GOD for His grace, love and mercy.
For it is in His strength,
I choose every second of the day, Him passionately.
 
Yet, sin is creeping at my door.
Especially when it hears I am calling out to God,
Wanting more!
More of Him and less of me.
But, THIS FLESH don’t want this to be.
Me delivered, sanctified, liberated, and set free.
Instead, it craves for that old nature who used to be me.
 
Instead!
And yet, instead!
I choose Him.
I choose Him.
My MASTER!
My KING.
MY FRIEND.
MY HEAD.
