How sin blurs my vision.

Just a thought. I left church last week and on the way home I said to myself "Well If I do not struggle with it (a sin I have been struggling with lately) this week, I will not feel so terrible when I go to church next Sunday." And sure enough, it was an issue this past week again. I think I can fix everything myself, when in all reality, I'm a complete mess that can not do anything right, ever. I need Jesus to take away my sins, no effort of my own to 'have a good week' is going to make the struggles I face go away!
