Growing Up, Falling Down

I wonder if God lets us sin for our own good sometimes? Where the end justifies the means. No, follow me on this: God lets you do something you know you shouldn’t but you do because you’re human, and then convicts you in an ever so slightly way, to make you realize—mostly—on your own how disgusting you can be. Now one of the greatest sources of motivation from inward for us humans is to feel disgusted with yourself and want to change soley on that basis alone—spiritualism or anything else, not even being a factor.

But how sacrilegious or “un-Christian” does that sound to say that God “lets” you sin? Surely God doesn’t “let” you sin—you just do—, right? I think it’s closer to say God gives us our free-will, where upon you choose to sin. Now of course it is human nature to sin, so if you think about it like that, you are naturally inclined to do just what God doesn’t want you to do. Now God understands this, and is forgiving. The journey to God begins whenever you decide in your mind, heart, and soul, to do what is not in your nature as a human—to do what is right.
