TemptationA Poem by ViperWe're all tempted at one time or another to do something.Temptation Temptation is every where we look It’s on the streets, on TV and in books We are tempted by the things we see, what we hear and what people do It’s getting harder everyday for me and you In the world today temptation is getting harder and harder to resist Some would say it’s not that serious or important, but it can’t be dismissed Everyday kids are tempted to try alcohol, drugs, view porn and to have sex by their peers Even as adults we have battled these same temptations through out the years You can’t listen to music, open a magazine or get on the internet without the temptations being there People continue to put the temptations out there without a care Temptation has always been here and it will always last But there is help in the Lord Jesus Christ if you just ask He is forgiving, loving and kind He told us not to be transformed to the ways of this world, but to be transformed in the renewal of our minds That means we have to keep our hearts and thoughts pure For these temptations He is the only sure cure We must seek him first then everything else will be givin unto us We can’t give in to our own selfish lust As I said everyday people fight temptation We all know that it can also lead to addiction So we must learn to fight and resist it by saying no Because once you give into it it’s hard to let go It’s like quicksand the more you struggle to get out the deeper it pulls you in So I encourage you not to get caught up in these sins So stay strong in the renewal of your minds and continue to pray So that you will be able to fight the temptations everyday © 2010 Viper |
