Imitating Christ - #36

Sometimes temptations can be very severe and troublesome, but if we resist them, they will be very useful to us; for by experiecneing them a man is humbled, cleansed and instructed.  All the saints endured tribulations and temptations and profited by them; while those who did not resist and overcome them fell away and were lost.

There is no place so holy or so remote where you will not meet with temptation, nor is there any man completeley free from it in this life; for in our body we bear the wounds of sin - the weakness of our huuman nature in which we were born.
