“Walk in a manner worthy of the God who calls you into His own kingdom and glory. 1Thess.2
I remember asking a young man seeking accountability if he struggled viewing pornography. His answer surprised me. He replied, “That kind of thing is beneath me.” The respect that we have for ourselves should be such that every kind of immorality would be “beneath” us and we would never stoop to dirty ourselves in it. Such devotion does not need to grow out of some prideful self-righteous attitude but rather the simple commitment we have to our own happiness to never settle for anything but the superior delights of the divine life that is growing in us ever encouraging us to embrace the upward call of God.

Just me trying to be honest with God.
