Whatever the genetics, nurture and environment that go into making us what we are there is the constant inner ache that we are not what we should be. This seems to be a universal human condition. I am not what I ought.
After last Sunday's service I was given these simple profound verses. A response to my reflections on the verses in Romans 7 '"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do."
I am what I am
I am not what I follow
If I am what I follow
And I follow what I am
Then I am not what I am.

Been pondering this today. Randomly googled the post title and interesting to be reminded that Gloria Gaynor, the Jonas Brothers and Orange are up there with God himself as having said this. You're in good company my friend...
I don't think I get it either. So we're created in the image of Someone who then allows us to choose whether to follow His way. If we're created in His image then surely we want to do what He would do. But I don't. Well some of the time obviously but why not all of it?
Is there such a thing as thinking too much?
