“Line of Compromise”
We’re just friends…
It’s only coffee…
I’ll only look once…
We all know the line of compromise. We see it first in the hazy distance. Safe distance. But it tempts us. We draw closer.
I deserve this…
It’s only texting…
I’ll stop after this…
Then we get so close that there is no discernible space between our toe and the line.
Just one bite…
Only one more…
I can stop anytime I want…
Then we dance on the line.
It’s the one thing I can control…
No one will ever know…
But they need me…
Then we rationalize. Then we cross it. Then we re-define the word “cross.”
I can fix this…
But God wants me to be happy…
Its not my fault…
Ask yourself…”this may not be wrong, but is it wise?” Be careful listening to your heart because Jeremiah says it can deceive you. Instead seek wise counsel from the Word and meditate on it both day and night.
And then:
Dont be drawn to what’s evil – RUN
Guard your soul – RUN
Flee evil desires – RUN
Flee from idolatry – RUN
And then…forward this reminder to someone God puts on your heart and then please oh please text me every day to remind me of it too.
