It sometimes seems to us
that life is nothing but
a series of temptations.
As soon as one temptation is overcome,
another comes to take
it’s place.
It never seems to end.
Doesn’t the time ever come
when our struggle with temptation
is forever done away?
No, that time never comes –
not in this life, at least.
God sometimes takes away the power
of a certain temptation
with which we long have struggled,
And that fills our hearts with joy!
But most often,
the struggle with temptation
goes on as long as we do.
God has not promised
that there would be no temptations
in our lives.
But he has promised
to give us the strength
to win a victory
over every one of them.
There is a way of escape!!
