The biggest temptation
One of the hardest aspects of the inner life that many find hard to let go of (well I do) is the truth that perfection, a time when there are no more falls or failures will arrive. We are human; we have flesh, hormones, outside influences, family backgrounds and just plain down to earth issues that can at times seem to turn us inside out. This is normal, what is not normal is coming to the point when none of this is an obstacle to loving God, knowing that it is simply there, this love, beckoning us forward. It is not about being harsh with ourselves our others, it is about opening up our hearts to the truth of God's love, as well as knowing that love always was, even before we came to understand our need of healing and of grace. The biggest temptation is to give up, either over our own weaknesses or the weaknesses of others.
