Even when we sin, we belong to you and acknowledge your power, but knowing we belong to you, we shall not sin.
---- my own,
Remember that sin is not just offensive to Me and wounds the Heart of one who loves you so much, but it diminishes the life of grace in you. Sin brings death, and the graver the sin, the more My life and light diminish in your soul. Sin or resisting sin is an act of the will. You choose whether or not you will do the things your flesh craves for the short-term pleasure it gives you, or you will turn to Me and ask Me to help you overcome temptation. Meditate daily, and whenever you can at different times of the day, on the love that the Father has for you. He has loved you so much that He gave Me up, His only and most beloved Son, as a willing victim to make expiation for all your sins. Look at a crucifix silently and let it speak to you of the measure of love, which is measureless. Have faith in My love for you, and allow My love and My commandment of love to help you turn your back on sin, avoid the occasions that render you weak and tempt you, and lean on the strong arm of prayer to help you choose Me over sin.
