A thread (Part 2)
...........
I even learn to lower my eyes and avoid seeing inappropriate parts of a person's body. The reason is love. Love is not rude (1 Cor. 13:5).

I love the Indonesian translation of that Verse, it is similar to not doing inappropriate things. I am a Christian and I need to love and respect others.

I did all of that not because I want to boast or act like "You're all holier than thou"... No.
It is because I know my flesh is. Once I give it a little chance, what had been dead will suddenly arise.

Like living with snake's eggs!. If you cherish it, someday that egg will turn into a snake, and the snake will become a dragon.

What had been dead, must stay dead!.

My old life, flesh, sins, and bad habits had been put to death when I received Lord Jesus as my only Lord and Savior. They had been "crucified", and I had been dead to them just like the picture of baptism.

It's because I knew my flesh is weak I need to listen to the Holy Spirit, be sober, and vigilant (Matt. 26:41)

And the other reason is that I love God and I don't want to make Him grieve anymore. Enough is enough.

The last reason is time is precious. Time is usually quickly lost because of this habit. That's why I need to be extra careful

At the end, who you let speak to your heart, mind, and soul tells you who you really are.

Instead of focusing on these vain things, I want to read and meditate on Your Words and Promises more every time, Lord Jesus. More eager than before.

This habit, made it something to draw my heart and my soul closer and closer to You, Your Words, and Your Promises, O Lord. I want to be faithful in this area.

Lord, please always turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
