a young girl came home one day and asked her parents if she could have a pet snake. they said no. having a pet is a big responsibility. she promised that she would take care of all its needs and she would show them how responsible she is. finally her parents gave in and said yes. every day the girl came from school and took care of her new pet. she gave it food and water and made sure her snake was happy and healthy. she loved her snake and was very fond of it. one day the snake wasn't acting like its usual self so the girl took it to see the vet. after examining the snake, the vet sat down with the girl. "your snake is getting more and more dangerous," the vet said. the girl asked what she should do. "you need to kill the snake. your life is in danger." her eyes filled with tears. she loved the snake so much, but her life was at high risk. she went home and completed the task even though it hurt her to have to do so. same with us. just because we love something, it's not always good for us. kill off that temptation before it swallows you whole.
prayer requests?
