Temptation
Temptation is all around us. At any given moment, you can see it, hear it and even taste. Hopefully, the rich flavor is from memory instead of present activity. Remember, just because something looks pleasant doesn’t mean that it’s good. Sometimes things and people are being perfectly packaged to entice you.
What’s wrong with being lured? Nothing, I suppose, but when the facts have to be distorted in order for you to join in the situation isn’t desirable. The initial appeal wasn't enough to get you. Ask yourself, why am I being pulled in this direction? And, what am I being led away from?
The problem with being pushed into a position is you don’t always know what is waiting for you there. We often agree to one small thing and it opens the door for others. What is giving into temptation really worth? The answer is either nothing or everything. If it’s nothing, why go there? If it’s everything, you might as well throw all of your prized possessions away, but if you truly love or honor them you won't want to do that.
Focus on the people and things you value. The more you do that, the less tempted you will be!
