Torn between Two Lovers by Tui Tikoduadua

The Apostle Paul in 2 Timothy 3:2-4 speaks that men will become lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. How can a person be faithful to God when his heart is faithful only to himself? We exchange our self-control for a momentary act of personal gratification. Faithfulness hinges upon what we value as important combined with commitment. Either we love Christ completely or we do not! It is that simple.

Our human nature often tells us to turn to the right or to the left and sometimes to look back, but that is not what Christ says. At all times, we should fix our eyes on Him. We must love Him from the center of our core- above our families, our children, our possessions and our friends. At times as a Christian, I find it hard to be faithful and I know that I am not the only person who feels this way. In this chaotic world, many things distract us or lure us away from the narrow path of life.

God, however, did not lose track of Noah, and He will not lose track of us! The story of the Flood does not end on a note of hopelessness. We may never have to face a trial of this magnitude, but God's faithfulness promises another great assurance: It guarantees that all our trials will be in proportion to our strength.

In 1Corinthians 10:13 it says; “No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.”
