TEMPTATION.

Cultivate the moral strength to
resist temptation. You can do it if
you will. In itself temptation is
neither strong nor weak. An OPP
portunity to steal a million would
not affect some men and women in
the least. To others it would be
irresistible, because their hearts are
aching with desire for we,lth. We
cannot blame our temptations for
our sins. That is neither fair nor
just. We must look deeper and
own that we alone are accountable
for the wrongdoing.
