A Slow Fade

It starts out small...then before you know it, it takes over.

It is hard to stop an addiction.

It might start with something small.

 You allow yourself to be exposed to it, but never partaking.

Then you grow accustomed and something tells you, 'maybe it's not so bad'.

...

So you do it just this once.

Then you see the world is doing it,

your friends could be doing it,

hey, maybe even your family is doing it.

The next time you do it again..then again..then again.

Before you realize what has happened you have slowly faded,

into someone different.

Your black and white life turns to gray.

That's all it is, a slow fade.

This is an incredible video, 'Slow Fade' by Casting Crowns.

But guess what?! I have some incredible news!

1 Corinthians 10:13

says...

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
