No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

1 Corinthians 10:13    (NIV)

 


Testimony 17  - John H.


 

As everyday goes by, I'm presented with a girl walking down the street, a television show with women, my wife (gorgeous!!!), and other things that remind me of what I have stopped doing (sex with self or someone other than my spouse). Each of these "temptations" is real and resistible. I know. I've resisted them for 34 days now. I feel like I'm starting to grow from where I left off at 15. A guy is supposed to learn to deal with these temptations and say "no." We are supposed to say, I'm not going to accept anything but the REAL thing with the RIGHT woman (the wife - not girlfriend, not one-night-stand, not mast., etc.). None of those are properly fulfilling. The more temptation I resist, the stronger I am, and the more confident I am in the ability to resist - as long as I have God, which I think is going to be what, an eternity now? So I think I'm covered..

 

I used to not believe this from other recovering addicts. But it is true. It DOES get easier!

 

And if you are married, guess what? The sex with your WIFE gets incredible! You won't NEED or WANT m once you get to this point. Only the BEST for me man. None of that meaningless unfulfilling stuff for me any more.

 

I would have never believed that before, but holy cow, it is true!
