I know that in this day and age the world is showing us more and more that porn is okay. We are able to see anything and everything with a click of a button or by pulling up an app on our phones. Porn is everywhere. Every day new sites go up that fuel a sinful world. I have found first hand how hard it is to stay pure in a world where just something simple can trigger a desire to get just that little bit more; knowing full well that in doing so you are hurting yourself more than you ever should. Then you take it to the next level when just looking at porn isn't enough. You want more, but you don't want anyone to know. You get your quick fix by masturbating. It is your mind thinking about things you see and trying to get everything you can out of the sin. At first it feels good to your flesh, but after you feel even worse than ever. Have you ever been walked in while in the act of masturbation? What does that person think of you, of your values and of your trust? (you were hiding it) What if someone was in the room every time you looked at porn or masturbated? What would their reaction be toward you? Well if you didn't know God is there with you. Ouch town. Yeah God saw every thing you saw. Every degrading thing that you did to yourself. Oh and he see what you are thinking... did you think about that? So why do we do this thing that is so destructive to us? My reason was because I was looking for something I couldn't have. My thoughts were, "it's not the real thing so it is okay." That is Satan talking and spitting lies all over you. He knows that you are weak and he wants to find that weakness and hit it hard trying to cause you to fall and once fallen he kicks you and tries to keep you down. The thing he doesn't want is for you to call out to God; ask for forgiveness for everything. In that small cry you reach out your hand and God takes it and lifts you up. With His other hand He throws Satan away. God shows you the path that he wants you to follow. It is going to be a up hill battle, with "shortcuts" that turn out to be a place that Satan with find you again. All the while God is standing right there calling out to you to come back and all you need is to reach out again and he will pull you back on to the straight and narrow. God want you to be victorious over these sins. Call on to him and you will be free. God Bless
