Temptation and discipline

With two lonely hearts in a foreign land, the temptation of lust is so prevalent...

But i thank God for i am sober enough and ran away from it. Knowing i cannot make the mistake i have made twenty-eight years ago that led marriage to be a obligation instead of love... And sure enough, after two decades, finally it screwed up.... and two innocent lives ended in the name of a 'broken home' in the society....

However, i still need to thank God for all that had happened.. For He disciplined me and provided the discernment for all things... especially when i am on the road, where the temptation of being folly is right in front of your door steps......

I pray that God watch and make me strong, trusting Him in all things, and the scar in my life will continue to tell me not to repeat the mistake i have done......

And here, the words in Hebrews 12:10-13 ....

"He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness. All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Therefore strengthen the hands that are weak and the knees that are feeble, and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed"

Lord, thank you for You have strengthened me much with these words..... Amen
