I had this revelation in my spirit. It was an instant hit. Even though your boys are men now, I felt a sorrow for their young minds - polluted with such trash at such an innocent age. This is proof that the spirit of lust knows no age or boundary. Your boys were compelled to dig them up again - just like all of us are compelled by the spirit of lust the moment after it knocks on our door - and we open it!<br /><br />I am seriously burdened by this word picture. Not that you shared. It holds an awesome truth. But it burdens me to think of a world full of 'little boys' facing the same truth of which you speak. <br /><br />As I said, I can't even begin to express what this has stirred in my spirit. So much so that if the Lord wills it, I will try to address my stirrings in a post on my page. If I do, would it be OK if I shared parts of this post and linked back to it here? <br /><br />Again,thank you for sharing. This is an article that makes a HUGE statement. The power behind Sin is very real.<br /><br />blessings to you and your family.<br /><br />Patrina <")>><Patrinas Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103800317102189590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-68424621799963847072011-05-28T16:21:49.774-07:002011-05-28T16:21:49.774-07:00A snapshot that will preach.

I was raised in a family of girls, so we didn't have stuff related to boys in the way of temptation. BUT, you can be sure I found other things that acquainted me, and re-acquainted with my sin nature.<br /><br />Who said it?: "Sin will take you where you never intended to go, cost you more than you ever wanted to spend, and keep you longer than you ever intended staying."

You are so good at telling stories, just the way I have read your father did.<br />I bet people couldn't help giggling at his meetings too when he shot bull's eye with his one-liners.<br /><br />I did , however, get the point and it hit me deeply.<br />I have even in my youth promised the Lord, help me out now, and I'll never do this ( I think it was about tobacco) again.<br />And then I dug it up again.<br />Nowadays I just ask for help, knowing I have nothing to offer in return.<br /><br />I admit there still are sins I keep digging up, like being too outspoken without thinking through the consequences of what I am saying.<br /><br />Amazing grace; the Lord loves me, and he still hasn't stopped teaching me new lessons.<br />From FelisolFelisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.com
