Romans 12:9-10 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.NLT
Here's the thing, while this world tries to justify sex outside of marriage by love, that is actually the opposite. If you love someone you are going to do your best to help them stay on the right path. You are going to try and help them do what is right. Don't just pretend to love someone. Truly love them.
Hate what is wrong. Not the person doing wrong. It's like homosexuality, everyone thinks that us Christians hate gays, we don't. We hate the sin, not the sinner. We need to hold on to what we know is good, and try our hardest to do just that.
If you genuinely love someone you are going to try to honor them. You are going to make sure that whatever you do is going to honor them, and take joy in doing so.
Kevin and I really need to memorize this verse. We need to keep hide it in our hearts that we need to learn to honor the other. This sexual sin we've been in, isn't honoring the other person at all.It's dishonoring us, so we really need to be careful with our actions and our words that we don't cause the other person (even ourselves) to sin.
I know the past two days my blogs have been vague, I didn't explain anything except we lost the battle. I've been waiting until I'm super tired to write the blog, which is a bad idea I know.
Saturday night I had a plan, but I didn't stick with my plan... Once the fireworks were over, and my family was leaving Kevin needed to leave also. I didn't make him because I never have actually been able to tell him to leave. I know it's silly, but I'm afraid he'll think I don't want him to spend anymore time with me. When I do, I just know more time is a bad idea.
Last night I didn't leave when I should have. I knew I needed to leave at 7:00 after we dropped Kevin's little sister off from helping us make candles for the favors. I simply didn't want to leave though, I kept telling Kevin I was going to leave, but I never did. I didn't stick with the plan. Once we no longer have anything planned for us to do, I need to leave. I can't just watch a movie over at Kevin's apartment without anyone else. Last night we were sitting ducks in a war zone.
Last night after Kevin and I messed up we made a plan more or less. It's called How To Win A War. We aren't done with it quite yet, but once we are finished with it I'm going to post it here, but I will start using more war terms on my posts because in reality this is a war. A war between our sinful desires and our spirit. Day Twenty Five Won!
94 Days Left!
