Your personal temptations

[Rose of Shushan]

YYZ that is just awesome!!!
what great news YYZ!

I think that by holding onto various items and stuff on your PC you were still not totally ready to part with all the things that held you bound.And that in itself kept you bound so to speak.Like Lot's wife who looked back.
In getting rid of all this stuff,(and I know it cannot have been easy!!) its like youve come to the point where you really mean business.Prior to this a part of you was still holding,deep down, on to the stuff that had you bound even though your mind knew it was wrong. While we of ourselves dont have the strength and ability many times to address it on our own ,what we have to do,like Vic said is resist.And really really want the sin/sins out of the way.And that is when God steps in.God never forces us into anything and can only try and make us aware of how its affecting us.There comes a time where we want to much to be free of the sins and what they lead to.A time that we hit rock bottom so to speak and really want out and acknowlege we ourselves cant do it.
Its so encouraging to read your post on this! Will continue praying and thank you so much for sharing all of this.I'm sure many people have been as encouraged as I have reading the posts in this thread.
