"No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. “ - Luke 16:13
Let's be honest, lust is our God. For any addict, the addiction, whether a chemical or a behavior replaces God. So for the man or woman who struggles with lust, it is the seeking of the flesh, the pleasure which becomes that thing for which they strive. Jesus warns us about this. Yes, Jesus was specifically speaking of money in this instance, however, we all know where lust ranks in our lives. God is Light. God has created us in His image so that we might live and live abundantly. Our addiction however, hidden in the deep and dark recesses of our minds pulls us away from the goodness of God's intentions for us. Lust takes us from light to dark. Because of lust, you cannot love God. Ask yourself this question; how much effort goes into your relationship with God? Compare that with how much effort you put into keeping your lust addiction hidden, in the dark, from God, from your loved ones, from yourself? Thankfully, we in recovery have recognized the spiritual nature of addiction to lust. It is not merely a physical thing. We spiritually turn our lives back to God, back to the light. We walk away from the altar of sexual desire and the flesh and fall before the altar of God. God is the one who will help us overcome the darkness and step into the light, may you find God now. Father, shed you light into my darkness that I may know and love you fully. Amen.
