Matthew 5:28-- But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
I'm a single lady, I'm 26 this year. I've had several boyfriends in the past (but i'm still a virgin), but it never worked out. I've been single for around two years, and recently I've been thinking about boys a lot. not anyone in particular, just random people. I don't touch, and i don't watch inappropriate content, and when i say i think of these men, i don't mean sexually, but like, you know, just cuddling, all right fine, sometimes i do think of sex, but it's very rare, and when i think of a man sexually I don't touch. It's more of like a 'comfort thought'; I feel cozy and happy thinking of these things (89% thoughts about cuddling, 6% bringing him home to my parents, 5% sex) . But these past two days I've been getting a lot of 'messages' from the Lord, I think, and I feel that what I'm thinking of is sinful.
I use the Bible app (previously known as YouVersion), and I read the Daily Bread. I read them daily, no matter how busy my schedule. is. These past days, I've gotten the verse 2 timothy 3:16 and 1 John 1:9 from Our Daily Bread, and Proverbs 3:7 from the Bible app.
I was racking my brains, trying to figure out what was He trying to say, when I realised. I remembered the verse Matthew 5:28-- But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
What do you think of this? Does my situation and type of thoughts fit into Matthew 5:28? I was thinking, even if I wasn't thinking of those men with lust, they might be someone's husband. That means I'm thinking of cuddling with someone's husband. It's sinful isn't it?
