Really, Really? A Butterfly?

Beauty in spite of sin. That is what I see in one of my best friends. I know that she struggles and yet I see God's grace in her life. I have been struggling a lot myself lately. I keep coming back to the same sin areas in my life because I do not want to let them go even though I know that it would be better for me if I did. I am weak. I desire the things of the sinful nature I have not fully resolved to believe what God has said about me and having a new nature. All I see is the caterpillar not the butterfly that it should become.
