Unless a man is granted repentance he will often not see the sin in an act or a thought. Once repentance is granted the Eternal will either grant grace to destroy that sin or leave him in it until he hates it so much he will shed tears to be rid of it. Pauls thorn in the flesh is an example of this.
I had a temptation that troubled me everyday of my life 5, 6 or 7 times a day for 18 months. I later discovered that the temptation only existed in my mind. The Eternal left me with the temptation to teach me to fight. One day I burst into tears while eating dinner and cried out that I was to weak to fight any more. The following day I was shown that the temptation was only in mind.
To the praise of the glory of His wisdom, amen.
