A sexual temptation that was very beautifully offered, but I resisted. Thanks be to God.

Yikes! Theres a loaded question.
Lets just say my greatest temptation and my greatest sin (well technically all sin is the same, but anyway...) would have to be the temptation to want to have control over my life rather than giving control to God. God has actually brought me a long way so that it's not nearly as bad as it used to be, but it's still a big deal.

Temptation itself!
I have never resisted any temptation in my life. I have never denied myself any pleasure. I feel myself as being powerless against temptation. Because of this, my soul is empty. My life has no substance. I have wasted all my talents and time. I have dissapointed and hurt everyone that has ever cared for me. I think I finally understand this. Can I change? Is it too late? I am not sure.

My ongoing battle is the pride and the desire to be in control. There was a time when my urge to crush someone who had harmed my granddaughter was almost more than I could bear. I was consumed with guilt one minute, and plotting to destroy that woman the next. God has moved on my heart to the point that when she became homeless recently, I was able to offer her a room in my home, with the understanding that it was very temporary. I could not have done this without a heart change that came from God.

Claudine. She is a friends teenage daughter, just turned (16) and not that i'd ever go their, yet she keeps pushing her sexy little body up in my face, she has even rubbed herself into me at party's, the last time being her 16th, where she rubbed her bottom into my crotch (push push style) having caught me alone grabbing a beer. now their is no want at all on my part, ie (too young, and my friends child) yet i am a single man and well temptation is a word that comes to mind.

was?
my greatest temptation in my life is the want to turn from God; to run on my own, not to listen to what He wants for my life and confide in myself. ...but i know i can not do this. i am no one without my Father, and without His love i am nothing.

When my Mother pulled me out of Church and told me that Jesus was like the Easter Bunny and Santa Clause. I fell for it and spent twenty miserable years finding out she was very wrong.
My Mother is a wonderful person and meant well. She just refuses to allow anyone to control her life but her. That is her rite.

Rebelliousness.
Many times [almost always] I want to be the mistress of my own ship, and God is not the co pilot type, if you know what I mean.
GOd reminds me that the spirit of Jezebel was far more than just sexual impurity, it was her overall rebellion and contempt for God and his word that caused her bones to be carried away by the dogs. :) I have to kep this in mind.

Men and sex. I am a Christian, but when it comes to sexy men there is something that it so hard to resist. I do praise God...I will will tell you I fight it all the time.
God Bless
Maybe if I was MARRIED it would be easier.
