This verse is so true!! As much as I try too not repeat the same sin over and over again, knowing what the outcome will be. I still return too it. Does anyone else have this problem?? An answer to why I keep doing this?? I love God with all my heart and hate letting him down and i know right from wrong but i still keep doing that stupid sin darn it! So to me this verse is so true about me . It's like God wrote it just to me...

Don't return to your folly after the Lord has delivered you there will be no change

Direct and straight to the point, that anyone who want to progress in life should desire not to be like a dog, but eager to change his her ways by the grace of the Lord Jesus
