Temptation - it's something that will be all around you all the time. Its inevitable. Its what the devil loves to use against us and make us constantly doubt ourselves. Its what brings you to your knees in a moment of weakness. Temptation is a not a fun thing - but is something that can also make you stronger.
If I can tell you one, or maybe two, things about temptation its this:
1) There is always a way out. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that "The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure." This is one of my favorite truths in the Bible. Our God is so faithful to us and will also provide for us. He will always take care of us.
2) There is nothing you can do and no sin great enough that can ever separate you from the love of God (or your momma). Romans 8:38-39 says "And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Temptation can hit you at the drop of the hat, especially when you don't expect it. Always be prepared and always be on guard. The devil will strike when you're at your best and when you're at your weakest. It will knock on the door every single day.
Be prepared for it, sweet baby girl, but do not temptation bring you down. Be ready for it, learn from it, and grow from it. Remember that no matter what you do, no matter where you go, no matter who you are - I will always love you.
