The only irresistible impulse is the one which is not resisted. I refuse to entertain the illusory knowledge that sufficiency of truth need lie in bad experience. Every dark corner of evil need not be explored before the pursuit of moral decency is asserted as priority in one’s life.
It has been said by some early in recovery “at least I haven’t done that yet.” Well, by all means, do not feel there is any requirement to perpetrate every conceivable evil before pursuing goodness. Remember that temptations sometimes appear as impulses, and once you have the power to choose, you CAN resist. You MUST resist; for you alone are responsible for how your life turns out.
What happens to a seed when it has no sunlight shining on it? It withers and dies. While we may plant good seeds in our minds, they still need exposure to sunlight; for nothing can grow in the dark. Let us plant good seeds in our mind and ask for God’s light to shine on it so we can grow.
