Hang in there. - *

De Sales said, “Those who never check such outbursts of temper eventually become victims of such rages that they are impossible to live with.”

Most sin is like that, when you think about it. Our consciences become dulled when we stray short distances from the path God lays before us, and we can become hopelessly lost.

Or so it seems…

But if we are steadfast in resisting evil and in yielding to God, we don’t need to stay lost:

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. - James 4:7-8
