The more I lean on the things outside, the more I grow weaker inside;
The more I look to the things outside, the more I grow blinder inside;
The more I long for the things outside, the more I grow emptier inside;
The more I live for the things outside, the more I keep dying inside;
The more I'm led by the things outside, the more I lose direction inside:
You never can be found in the things outside, for You live inside of me,
And You groan and You long that I be changed in the inside totally;
So, help me Father to lean on, look to, long for, live for, and be led by only You completely.
M...L...S 1. Temptation is MOMENTARY. It won't last forever. The devil tries to make it look as the final reality. But, it is not. It is just a test, and it'll be over; but, the question is whether you'll pass it. 2. Temptation is a Test of LOVE; and LOVE is an action. Love fulfills all the commandments. The two greatest are LOVE GOD with all your being and LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR as yourself. But, love is not a feeling or emotion; it is an action. We need to LOVE Him more in the moment of temptation; it can only be possible when we focus on Him. 3. Temptation will make you STRONGER and PURER. It may stretch your muscle; but, not beyond your capacity; and then the HELPER, our TRAINER is there with us and knows what will make us stronger... Despite all this, let us never forget to pray: "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one!"
