Escape

Over the course of my life, I discovered that when I was thinking of sinning, thoughts came up saying things like “you’ll feel better about yourself if you don’t go through with this.” I also found that while I was sinning, thoughts of Christ living in me would often come to mind. Almost always after I carried out my sinful plan, I felt unsettled in a way that wasn’t really guilt. It was more like heartbreak or disappointment in myself.
