We've all compromised at one time or another. Before I continue, let me give the definition of the word compromise: Compromise ... An agreement or settlement of a dispute that is reached by each side making concessions. Plainly stated: an agreement between two sides who have different opinions, in which each side gives up something it want or wanted:
Compromises can cost greatly. And, it doesn't always mean that the agreement is always equal, meaning someone sometimes gets less than the other. Temptation to compromise threatens each of us. Temptations comes in many forms. But you don't have to give in to it. Each of us when we are tempted are either tempted because of someone's enticing us or we are tempted because of what we desperately want ourselves.
One way to learn how to avoid compromise is to understand why we find that (whatever it is) so tempting. Young women are pressured into having sex when they know they are not ready. Yet they often give in because of various reasons. To the young women: Don't be forced to give yourself to anyone until its the right time. And, don't let anyone coerce you. I often tell young women this... "A man will always show you who he is, if you open your eyes to see". Temptation can sometimes be a temporary gain for a lifetime of pain! So, don't compromise yourself!
