Finding Hope

Introduction

I want to start off with saying that I am not judging anyone, just giving my opinion on stuff. And that Jesus will always love you unconditionally, no matter what sins you have committed. I try my best to mirror that level of love in my actions.

So, let's start off by talking about my personal journey thus far. I grew up into a Catholic family and always considered myself to be Christian, but had never read the Bible or prayed really. It wasn't a priority of mine. I started opening my mind to the idea of faith around November 2023, and it was in my mind for awhile. For Christmas I got a Bible and finally started to immerse myself in the word, and it was the best decision I've ever made. I also had friends around that time who taught me about Jesus and I'm very thankful for it.

I've noticed since then that I've become a lot more loving, knowledgeable, and open. I highly recommend everyone at least try it because I feel like it's saved me as a person.

An issue i wanted to talk about on here that is relevant to the context of this app and my past on here: Lust. So the thing about lust is it mirrors love but is much more destructive and short lasting. I feel like I was a prisoner to masturbation and lust in the past, and it never did anything good for me. It just made my mental issues worsen and break my heart. I'm not saying I've completely defeated lust and nobody will ever be perfect but realizing it's a problem is the first step.

As what the Bible teaches about sex, I believe it is an act of two fleshes becoming one, a very deep expression of love and attachment that should be reserved for marriage. It's a way for two couples to express their love and share pleasure with each other, and contradicting popular belief, nowhere in the Bible does it say you can't enjoy sex. It's just not something to be taken lightly or casually, it's a binding of two fleshes.

I dont come on here just to talk about my views on lust and sex, I will talk more about my views on things as a Christ follower. Anyone is welcome to ask me questions and I will answer.

Let me know if there's any specific topics you'd like me to talk about, I'm open to write about anything on here.
