We get to a certain point where we feel the pressure of those around us or the circumstance we find ourselves in, and it appears that the only way out is to compromise our beliefs, our convictions, or our standards even though we know in our heart of hearts it is wrong. But it’s difficult, isn’t it?
We want to keep that job or stay in that relationship or keep those friends. We’re afraid, confused, and impatient. We lack faith, courage, or security so we give in. We compromise what we know we should not compromise because we believe we have no other option. We have to be careful that we don’t fall into the trap of compromising in areas where need to stand firm.
