choices

to be human is to live with choices...
when we make choices that lead to sin... we become less than human...
when we make choices that lead to God... we become more than human...

the very thing that characterizes humanity is our ability to live and to make choices...
sometimes those choices may be wrong... sometimes they may be right... but to be human is to have the freedom to make those choices...
Thus, each choice we make is an opportunity... either to glorify God, or to sin and glorify ourselves... temptations, can then can be seen as opportunities to glorify God, and not situations that force us into sin... it is curious, that we sometimes we only learn how to make right choices... after we've made the wrong one...

no-one can be forced into making a choice that they don't wish to.. circumstances and people may make us think otherwise, but freedom of choice is something that we can only take away from ourselves... if we choose to...
