LUST

LUST is something that many people struggle with and many others lie about
not struggling with. There are many different statistics out there, one
survey stated that US adults who regularly visit internet pornography
websites is: 40 million people. Men have taken the beauty that God gave to
a woman specifically for her husband and twisted it into something that is
dirty and nasty. I remember the words of *Job 31:1 “I have made a covenant
with my eyes; Why then should I look upon a young woman?* There was an
"Icon" that recently died and many left him heartfelt condolences and good
thoughts. "Rest in peace", and thank you's for the good times. This man was
working at Children’s Activities magazine and then took many of those
children with him on a journey that no one should ever go. He had a
"Mansion" here on earth and today I am sad because of where he may have
ended up. It is written in *Matt 5:27 “You have heard that it was said to
those of old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that
whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery
with her in his heart.* Everyone will be judged for what they do here on
earth. Believers will be judged for their works and unbelievers for their
actions. Lust, like many other struggles, drugs and alcohol, has a snowball
effect. Once it gets rolling, it is very difficult to stop. It has never
been so easy to do the wrong thing. A person would have to go to a store to
get a magazine and now it is only a click away. Not only is the porn
industry targeting both male and female adults, they have even begun to
target children. I was 8 years old the first time I saw something that I
wish I would have never of seen. Porn kills the love that God intended. If
you are struggling and battling, know that you are not alone an there is
help.
