“And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice. There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger” ~~ Rumi~~ Though I will not bow to temptation Will I vow to stay strong ? Can I resist the devil’s vexation. For ever so long? Such niceties on offer I see. Can I now resist? These titillating tidbits please me. How can I desist? Is there goodness within my soul ? Do I see the ere of my ways? Will I keep God’s commandments whole, And reject Satan’s displays? Does the fight betwixt these two, Make me stronger to defeat evil’s winning, And so to reject all sinning? I feel the surge of power as I feel my need. To resist the demon enticing me. The devil is pulling me and must be stymied. Following God’s word, it is true purity. Inside there is a burning fire. I have the strength to accept or reject it all at will. I now can pull back from desire. Even stronger I have become and will be still.
