Sin pulls hard but victories take the relationship with God to a new level.

 

[Quid est Veritas?]

Anyone know that feel?

Augustine of Hippo:

"But I wretched, most wretched, in the very commencement of my early youth, had begged chastity of Thee, and said, "Give me chastity and continency, only not yet." For I feared lest Thou shouldest hear me soon, and soon cure me of the disease of concupiscence, which I wished to have satisfied, rather than extinguished." - Confessions.

This is a standard failing. Don't be disheartened.

I encourage you to keep trying to find God.

God looks down from heaven on the entire human race; he looks to see if anyone is truly wise, if anyone seeks God. Psalm 53:2

About 90-95% of young men I think. Here's good advice:

1 Corinthians 7:9 But if they cannot control themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to burn with passion.

God already made it so, that you would be best to love and marry and the "two become one".

To find God, very much best is to listen to the one who knows Him best, Jesus, in His words in the 4 gospel accounts. In Matthew chapter 7 He speaks of seeking, knocking, asking, and hearing more of Christ's words will aid you greatly, in this endeavor, and in the other. (I'd recommend the NIV translation for a first time reader. Matthew 1 NIV (one can start at verse 18)

Searching for God in All the Wrong Places

I am reading this, now. It says if you diligently seek God, you will find Him. Where are the right places to seek God?

I think of 1 Peter 3:4 >

"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." (1 Peter 3:4)

From this I see that God's love is gentle and quiet. God is quiet, not silent, then. We can share with Him, by being quiet in His love. But this love is all-loving; so we need to keep trusting God to make us more how He wants us to be all-caring with hope in prayer for any and all people.

We need to say no to boredom and loneliness and lusts and anger and frustration and unforgiveness. And trust how God is able to make us quiet the way He desires. Then trust Him to make us submissive to how He rules us in His own peace >

"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful." (Colossians 3:15)

While we are submitting to God in His peace ruling us, we have Him sharing with us ! ! !

Anybody with hot blood in their veins knows how that feels. None of us are free of those desires. There are often disastrous consequences for acting irresponsibly. Always remember that. A peaceful life is worth more than getting your rocks off in the heat of the moment.
