Temptation..

I Corinthians 10:13 (CEV) - You are tempted in the same way that everyone else is tempted. But God can be trusted not to let you be tempted too much, and he will show you how to escape your temptation.

Lately, I've been tempted a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot lot. And to be honest, more than half of the time, I failed. Miserably.
Then, God randomly showed me this Scripture.

This is so encouraging. That means that WHATEVER I am going through, others are going through it too - and better yet, others have made it out already! (yay, hope! ^_^) YOU can handle EVERY temptation that comes your way - drinking, swearing, having sex, masturbation, "hooking up", stealing, lying, cheating - and God has created an escape for every one!

Could it be that we fall into temptation because we choose not to look for God's escape? Hmm. I know I haven't been looking. There's one thing I know though: temptation will come but God has created our escape - so put your flesh in order and win. TODAY.

Don't Give Up..

Are you confused?
Do you have NO idea where you're going in life? No?
Well, congrats to you!! Because thats how I'm feeling right now. *side eye*

Right now, I feel as if I'm trying my hardest to do right but I'm failing miserably. I feel as if God has abandoned me. I feel like I'm walking with a super-think, heavy-duty blindfold on. I feel like sin is overpowering me.

But every day, no matter how I FEEL, I have to pinch my lazy butt and remind myself that: "the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord." (Proverbs 37:23). So no matter how you FEEL, no matter how much you go on that porn site, no matter how many curse words you say, no matter how many of yours friends say, "You? Christian? Ha!" -- once you don't give up, God will order your steps.

I trust my earthly father enough to lead me into the right path when I am blindfolded. Your earthly father may have failed you, but God will never, ever fail you.

Last night, I had a dream, and in my dream the song "God is Able" by Deitrick Haddon was playing. This is in my spirit! Don't give up on God, cause he won't give up on you! Nothing may seem to be happening now, but just hang in there.. your change is coming!
