The Danger of Little Things

“It is the little things that cause the Christian to stumble. It is the yielding to the momentary impatience which results in a hasty word that one would give years to recall. It is yielding to the first temptation to drink that makes the drunkard. It is cherishing the lustful, illegitimate thought that leads to adultery. It is coveting that leads to theft. It is envying our neighbor some good thing that leads to hatred and perhaps murder. Watch the moments. We pass this way but once. We can never recall today.”
