1 Corinthians 10:13 - No test of temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down, he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; He'll always be there to help you come through it.
-The Message Translation
As a teenager I know first hand what we are tempted with. Adults say that they know what we are going through, They were a teenager once to. But the truth is, that things are different now then they were then. Yes, of course they might have had the same temptations. But the teen drug addiction/teenage pregnancy/alcoholic/ suicidal rates in teens are going up. I know what your thinking... I am not a statistic!
I refuse to be.
But when it comes down to the situation will you be able to say no?
Or will you just give it one try?
One hit never hurt anybody, or one drink never caused any problems. How about this one... But I love him and I want to show him that.
Most of the time when it comes down to it, we cant say no. We want our friends to think we are cool. We love him so we want to show him how much we truly are dedicated to him.
I think for girls that is the biggest temptation we have.. We are taught as girls that all guys are after one thing and one thing only. Sex.
Oh yes girls I just brought that up. But I have a question for you..
Is this guy really worth giving yourself up to him physically, sexually, and emotional?
If you answered yes, then you must be really in love with him.
But is he as in love with you as you are with him?
I mean he tells you that he loves you. That he wants to be with you the rest of your life. TOGETHER FOREVER!! Ahhhhh!!
Just what we want to here. The promise that they love us and that our fairytale will come true. As much as the truth of it hurts..
They don't love you and you probably wont be together forever.
The Bible says that we are not supposed to have premarital sex. Im in the same boat. I struggle with this everyday. I really do love my boyfriend. And if He loves me as much as he says he does then he will wait for me. But sometimes flesh overtakes and my hormones rage to have him. and to please him.
The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is a faithful God. He will not let you be tempted more than you can bare.
It also goes on to say that Even when we are tempted that God always provides a way out. It is up to us to take that step toward getting out of that temptation.
So no matter what your mind says to do. Listen to your heart and the Holy Spirit will guide you.
God IS faithful! He will always provide a way out. So in time of temptation, look for him. He will make a way.
