Honestly, I decided to lie on tonight’s blog. I decided the most pleasant experience for all of us would be if I did so. I decided I should get out my notes from this morning’s message and say something about them as if I had been meditating on them all afternoon and had some amazing revelation or another. I even took out my notes and looked at them. What an amazing message about dying to myself and never being enough and not thriving through God.
This afternoon I did not die to myself enough. I was not enough. I did not thrive through God and He did not thrive through me. As I am sure you may be aware, God created people with sex drives. Now if you are a married follower of Jesus, that is all hunky dory. If, however, you are a young, single, abstinent follower of Jesus who no longer watches porn, masturbates or drinks alcohol to drown problems, it sucks. It becomes a battlefield of the mind, and sometimes the mind loses. Today the mind lost and is still losing. That is all she wrote.
Do I have to torture myself with writing verses about this?
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. – Philippians 4:8 ESV
