Lust is like sleep; there's that moment when my eyelids begin to get heavy and force my eyes to close. Suddenly I'm asleep, in a deep, deep sleep.
It's a constant struggle to 'stay awake,' its not like fashion is doing ANYTHING to help, dresses and jeans are becoming shorter, necklines are becoming progressively lower and more revealing. There are many shirts that are almost see through. Its a battle. To any Christian (or otherwise) women reading this I want to challenge, know its not easy for guys. Put in a little bit of effort. Be a little bit counter cultural.
I recently read a few chapters of 'Every Young Man's Battle' and there are plenty of stories of people that have started off with men just staring at women, then moved onto staring at women on the internet, then started masturbating over them, and then moved on to real women in the bedroom.
Its a battle to control my eyes. A struggle. But notice how its a struggle. Thats the only difference between me and the young men in the story above. I struggle and I fight against it (know that its not by own strength, but by God's.)
I refuse to numbly succumb to the desires of my flesh. To my brothers and sisters in Christ, pray for me.
