I'm getting closer and closer to truly recognizing the reality behind God's Word regarding temptation:
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
- 1 Corinthians 10:13
The thing is, if you can take a few seconds to seek the Lord in the middle of all the sugarcoated lies and deceiving thoughts trying to get you to sin, you will find out that the only thing that needs a push is your will to go the right way or the wrong way. When you're accountable not only to yourself in a particular situation where you have to make this decision, the resultant effects would be amplified based on how close the other person you're taking with you is to you. In this case, with Pao, the guilt of sin is doubled, but on the other hand, the joy of victory over temptation is also amplified. It all really depends on the decision we make.
When God gives you a partner, you definitely have more opportunities to please Him, since you have more decisions to make. I thank the Lord for all that's been happening this week so far... May the Lord continue to bless you.
