Get Out of My MindIhe Nhụchatụ

Written by Maria, age 17, from Fort Worth, Texas, USA

In today’s world, it can be easy to give in to temptation. It’s easy to follow the crowd, even when they are making unwise choices that lead to painful consequences. Of course, our mistakes don’t define us, but as followers of Jesus we should use our lives to show how the love of God has transformed us for the better. By accepting the strength that God gives us and remembering His words, we can overcome temptation and display our love for Him. While we may miss out on temporary happiness when we don’t give in to temptation, we know that following God leads to a fuller life with unlimited love, hope, joy, and peace. No matter what temptations we face, we are strong and have the power to resist them with the help of God. This week, I encourage you to focus on overcoming the things that tempt you so that your life can show the goodness of God and how He can work to transform lives!
