Flesh versus Spirit

The Spirit says : Forgive
The Flesh says: Hold a grudge

The Spirit says: Be Temperate
The Flesh says: Eat whatever you want whenever you feel like it.

The Spirit says: Give that money to someone in need.
The Flesh says: Spend that money on yourself.

The Spirit says: Spend some time in the Word and in prayer.
The Flesh says: You've had a long day chill out in front of the TV for the evening.

The Spirit says: Hold your tongue. What you are about to say is not necessary. (ouch)
The Flesh says: Tell it like it is.

How many times do I give into the Flesh when I know the Spirit is telling me something else.
