This temptation is bigger than I
How can I say no when flesh says yes?
Why should I deny self when all of me screams defy
I thought pleasure was a good thing, apparently, it equals hell.
The liquor I crave addiction it becomes; death when fulfilled.
Ought I to decipher the end when the beginning looks too good to be true?
The red wine as it jingles in the cup and its savory fill ๐ท
Skin to skinย
The insidious divining power of money and uncultured fame that creeps away the sting of poverty ๐ธ
The ravishing aroma of the delicacyย
Smoke and puff
How can I contend this consuming urge toย
manipulate, malign, and mar
ย ย Fight, judge, and abase
ย ย ย ย Extort, extract, and extinguish
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย Feign, forge and fabricate

I've been fighting these temptations on my ownย
Cry when I fall and rise to fall again
Burning everything my hand touches
Running insane my new addiction
Try my all to quit; slash myself yet again I bandage the wounds for a deeper cut
Torn.
Broken.
Wasting,
Cause the consequences of sin are killing the life in me
I need someone to hear my pains out
"Deny the body to feed the Spirit" I hearย
If they do work together why do I have to starve one
Donโt I need the body to carry out the works of the Spirit
The Bible says 'If you fall in the day of adversity your strength is small'
Why is fulfilling my desires equitable to a fall connoting temptations are adversities?
How great strength do I need to overcome this seemed adversity?
Weak is subjective I think because temptations come in varied volumes
ย
So I introduce you to Jesus.
You have a friend that loves you more than hearts can hold
Who came down from glory and gave his life for your ransom
His Blood was spilled just to justify you
Skin seared and molded just to purify youย
"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." He laid down his life for you.ย
It is hardly heard than a son would be given up to die for the sins of people who do not hold any value for him
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God
You were condemned from the beginning
Shaped and moulded in iniquity hence hell was your fateย
But Jesus-the son of God said NO
And came and carried your sins upon himย
Therefore, if you accept and believe in Him
He takes away your sins and gives you the grace to sin no moreย
Granting you access to GOD the Father who gives you all things freely
ย
If this still looks like a mystery hereโs it broken down
As long as you are born of man and woman into this Earth
Your parts are ruined with sin
You are a sinnerย
You cannot resist sin
You cannot say no to sin
You live, move, and breathe sin
Because of Adam and Eveย
Here's the story
So God created man in his own image. Male and female created He them and placed them in the beautiful garden of Eden here on Earth. But God commanded saying, "Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."ย
Meaning the tree in the middle of the garden was a forbidden tree because if they ate it, they'll know all things hence God commanded them not to eat of it, nor touch it. However, they disobeyed. Then God sent them out of the garden and placed the curse of sin and its consequences upon man.

God was displeased with man!ย
You and I would have perished and may still perish if we do not acknowledge our friend who came to save us.ย
Jesus came to take your sins.
Jesus died so we may live; enjoy the blessings of our Father and live eternally with Him in Heaven
GODโS SON JESUS
Now you can access the blessings of God freely when you believe in Him
Then HE in you will give you the grace never to yield to temptation.๐ค๐ค
