I've struggled with lust for quite some years.
I thought I could handle it on my own.
How self-righteous of me.
Thinking I am the ruler of my life.
False idolatry.
I found out that I cannot do anything without God,
and that makes me feel so small.
So incompetent.
Since the world tells us you can save yourself.
I'm here to tell you that you cannot.
Yet, He loves me despite my sin.
He loves you too, despite your sin.
That's why Jesus had to die a horrific death.
All of God's wrath is put into One.
The perfect sacrifice.

Matthew 17:20 - He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
