Managing Those Temptations


Suffering from terminal uniqueness… 


Have you ever noticed how different it feels when you are faced with an unusual experience or uneasy situation? 


Now perhaps it’s different for you, but this selfish head of mine tries to make me feel isolated and alone and justify all the wrong elements that go against my moral fibers and character. 


It’s like my head is trying to get me to turn my back on my faith and give in to those selfish and self-will driven old ways fueled by either fear or pride that brought me nothing but chaos, calamity, and crisis. 


The blessing I have is that when I face these experiences or situations today, my heart gently reminds me almost immediately of the Holy Spirit within me and that I am not alone. I find that when I share these times with others walking the spiritual path with me that they have also experienced things of this nature and I am not terminally unique! 


Are you allowing your head to isolate you from your heart and others?.. Check your experience… 


“But there exists among us a fellowship, a friendliness, and an understanding which is indescribably wonderful.” Big Book pg 17 

Lord, let us look in our hearts for your Spirit and rely on our faith and fellowship with others to immunize us from terminal uniqueness, AMEN. 


“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.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 

Have a blessed day Y’all!
