It's been a whole month I haven't written and i do miss sharing what God has been teaching me! I have been busy with work, in the good sense of the word, that i have been unable to type here even though i know i had something to write. A few days back, I humbly asked the Lord to speak to me - anything He just wants to say or point my attention to (Jeremiah 29:13). I will write about that next week :) Because God has been reminding me to write it here - and when i always forget, well i am finally back with an inspiration and a push from Him.
For now, allow me to share with you what i read yesterday that really blessed me. You know what God's still, small voice said? That He is GOD ENOUGH to be in control of our heart, emotion, desire. No amount of "I'm just human" excuses. He put the Godly desires - for His glory, not for sin, and He is GOD ENOUGH to take control if we submit to Him. He is GOD ENOUGH to make us - men and women - set apart for purity:
"I went to a CEF training camp several years ago and all the girls came together in the beginning of the two-weeks and committed to hold each other accountable in the area of modesty. The boys had no idea we did this. At the final session of the training, one of the guys (21YO) stood up and said "I don't know what you girls did, if anything, but I just want to thank you all for the way you've dressed, it's been so easy for us guys to focus on the Lord, and not on you." It was awesome, and us girls were SO excited to be a blessing to them!!"
