Today's Dare
End it now. Identify every object of lust in your life and remove it. Single out every lie you've swallowed in pursuing forbidden pleasure and reject it. Lust cannot be allowed to live in a back bedroom. It must be killed and destroyed - today- and replaced with the sure promises of God and a heart filled with his perfect love.
What did you identify as an area of lust? What has this pursuit cost you over time? Write about your new commitment to seek Him -- and to seek your spouse-- rather than seeking after foolish desires.
This is why I have deleted my BBC account, put FB on hold and concentrating on my blog and my family. I read peoples threads and think..why cant my life be like that. I get on Paltalk and love the attention I get from anyone saying how great I look and think damnit..my husband should be treatingme this way and it makes me mad that he doesnt. So I am getting rid of everything that puts a negative attribute on my relationship.
Favorite Phrase:
We try to meet legitimate needs and illegitimate ways. For many it's seeking sexual fulfillment in another person or in pornographic images designed to feel like a real person. We look, start, and fantasize. We try to be discreet but barely turn our eyes away. And once our eyes are captured by curiosity, our hearts become entangled. Then we act on our lust. We also lust after possessions or power or prideful ambition. We see what others have and we want it, Our hearts are deceived into saying "I could be happy it I only had this." Lust always breeds more lust. It breeds anger, numbs hearts, and destroys marriages. Rather than fullness, it leads to emptiness.
I was seeking fulfillment in the comments I was getting on PalTalk from men and women both. I was getting the void filled that Dave was empting by ignoring me and making me feel fat and ugly and unwanted. I was angry with him, why can these people think Im so awesome and he can't stand me, he should be happy with what he has. He is an idiot and he is this and that and etc etc. I was thinking..if only he loved me...I could be happy. But we all know...i would want more. He gives me a kiss and I want him to hold my hand too...etc etc.
