Temptation today

Every single day walking with Jesus is a challenge on itself. To be rightful in front of God, to please His heart, there are many rules to obey. God says that temptation will come, but He promise to help us to win against that temptation.

Today is no different with other day I lived my life, many old and new temptation came to me. I struggle not to fall to commit sin, I pray to God that He would help me to overcome this temptation, particularly this masturbation and porn temptation. Because of my job on internet, I expose myself each and everyday to the source of information (whether it's a good or damaging material). being online means that I could easily access porn and do masturbation. I struggle, I pray, I listen to gospel music, read the holy bible to overcome this temptation, I hope that this will make me forget about that explicit sexual material and those dirty mind of mine.

But today I won again because God always there for me, He remind me of how He love me and how He wanted me to grow greater in His eyes, therefore I must abandon this dirty hobby of mine (porn and masturbation). God's love me and He didn't want me to love other things beside Him. if porn get in the way of my relationship with God, than I must get rid of it.

God demand our full love, not partial. He wanted us to love Him with all of our heart, with all of our mind and body. I'm glad that I can satisfy His love by listening to His word, praise and worship Him trough songs and doing good things toward other people. It's more joyful to be in His presence than anywhere else, more satisfying than sexual impurity.
