Do I need fixed?

Of course I need fixed!  Are you crazy!?!  Romans 3:23 says "Because all people have sinned, they have fallen short of God's glory."  do you see that ALL ... me, you, him, her, ALL!  It doesn't matter the sin; to much time on the computer, to much to eat(gluttony), adultery, un natural relations, to much to drink, sex outside of marriage,  I could go on but if you are reading this you get the point.    
Some of these things are necessary and good i.e. food we need food without it we really could not last a long time.  Sex is great for and inside marriage.  Jesus made wine.  For us sinful humans we take what is good and twist it to be harmful for us so much of the time.  Even in those things moderation is needed.  Yet as a sinful human that can be difficult in areas of our lives.   1 Corinthians 6:12 Someone may say, "I'm allowed to do anything," but not everything is helpful. I'm allowed to do anything, but I won't allow anything to gain control over my life.
I am thankful that I have a compassionate merciful Savior who took all my sins on that I might have eternal life.  John 3:16 God loved the world this way: He gave his only Son so that everyone who believes in him will not die but will have eternal life.   He is gentle with me... but yes, YES I need fixed and only God can do that in me.  I am grateful He has made me willing.
