Today, I invite you into the healing connection between our wrestling with lust, and the face of Jesus; his visible face.
As a parent, especially a mom, you intimately knew your child when you were pregnant. You carried the child in your womb. Even dads know their kids while they are in the womb.
And then they were born. We saw their face for the first time, and everything changed. Everything deepened.
And of course, that only continues as they grow. As we see new aspects of their personality, their heart, and their mind. There's something about this understanding that matters for us in the realm of lust. How Jesus, the Word who is the invisible God, became the visible God for us. There's something about this that offers us an antidote, a cure, a healing balm for our lust.
Highlights:
Do you wrestle with lust? How does it feel?
Can you relate to this? Does it resonate with you?
When our children are born, everything changes.
The problem with pornography is not that it shows too much, but too little.

Love incarnate vs. lust incarnate.
“If you wrestle with lust, you find your eyes, looking at people and using what you see, for selfish gratification are tempted to do so. Failing to see a whole human person, but instead of seeing body parts, objects, obstacles, then would you sit with me a while kneel with me a while at the manger."
