This message makes a lot of sense to me. I keep weighing it against Paul's scripture about taking every thought captive. I can say that over the last ten years of my life spent in dedication to Jesus, my thoughts have become less of a gruesome thing, though they are by no means clean. Your article is comforting and useful, and I think it's wise to say that the temptations in our life do not ever disappear. I think also of Paul's "thorn in his side" and the gratitude he heldfor that friction, and feeling it really compliments this message as well. Thank you.

This is a great treatment/discussion of temptation. I am pondering this very topic--how can I become the person who experiences the temptation but thinks “I am the person who has already made up her mind to choose a different way.” Love the Desert Father teaching. So clear and hopeful. Thank you.
