Temptations

In The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis, he writes "No one is completely free of temptations because the source of temptation is in ourselves. We were born in sinful desire. When one timeptaion passes, another is on its way. We will always have temptation because we are sinners who lost our original innocence in the Garden."

I would like to meditate and reflect over the next month on temptation--in general, and in my own life and how God provides a way out for us in every temptation that we face.
