Becoming Whole Your Story and Your Sexual Integrity
Your life tells a story. And you are the main character. But what if you’re battling an ongoing porn addiction, unwanted same sex attraction or can’t stop hooking up?
This is where an understanding of who you are meant to be and the story your life can tell is powerful. If Satan has taken over as the role of co-author, you are believing a false storyline.
Don’t let his whispers sabotage the purpose you are meant to live out.
Dig deep into the story you’ve been living to discover where the lies are. God wrote your story with love and friendship and honor and dignity in the details.
Begin your next chapter with the truth as “it is written.”
Highlights:
Growing in sexual integrity includes: 1. Unearthing those subtle stories we are living. 2. Unearthing the faulty role we believe we have in that story.
A person who sees themself living a bigger story, playing a more important character sees alone time as different kind of opportunity. Alone time becomes an opportunity for advancement, for rest, for self-nurturing, for connection with others, for aspiring to reflect God.
Scripture pulls down the veil to reveal a reveal a bigger story of what God has for us. The choice for us is whether we’ll dare to believe this narrative, that we have a better part to play and that we are actually in a better, bigger story than what we’ve been living.
Homework:
Where you have sexual sin in your life, is it possible you’ve allowed the serpent to rewrite your story and the role you play? What is the story you are living? What is your role? What does your Heart say about you in your challenging moments?
After reflection, try using scripture to combat Satan’s whispers and affirm God’s design for you:
- 1 Corinthians 3:16 I, myself, am God’s temple and God’s Spirit dwells in my midst.
- Ephesians 2:10 I am God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for me to do.
- 2 Corinthians 10:5 I demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and I take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
- 2 Timothy 1:7 The Spirit God gave me does not make me timid, but gives me power, love and self-discipline.
