In the midst of every act of disobedience we commit, there is a small but tiny catch that holds us accountable for our actions. We act out our compulsive or addictive behaviours only after we have decided to do so. Every time, we are reminded in our conscience that what we are doing is wrong, but we choose to gloss over that small voice that is trying to guide us in the right direction. The damage done to us in our life tricks us into thinking that the enjoyment of the moment is a far better thing than security in the long run. That's the basis of an addiction or compulsive behaviour.
Hebrews 8:10 "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.
We know this verse is true!! Its hard to admit that we don't first think about the things we do wrong and do them anyway. The problem is, after a while of refusing to listen to the voice it eventually goes away. Leaving us thinking that what we are doing is alright....but deep down we know better.
That voice is not our imagination, its the essence of God trying to protect us.
