Remember your chains

My sincerest apologies for not updating this site. I have been very involved in an emigration process, which has taken up a lot of my energy and time. No excuse is good enough, however, and so I have resolved to keep updating this site on a regular basis once again. Please note that I have added a link to a fellow Blogger's struggle with pornography, namely 'A Porn Addict's Blog'.

As you may have gathered from previous posts, my struggle with pornography has not yet led me to the point where I am not tempted anymore or never give in anymore. I can go weeks with little struggle, only to be caught unawares and give in again. Just recently, I had been rejoicing in the victory God had given me. Being free from Pornography and Masturbation is a truly wonderful feeling. All too soon, however, the memory of their chains wore off and I found myself taken in by the lie once again.

I am reminded of a song by Steven Curtis Chapman, which says the following:

Remember your chains
Remember the prison that once held you
Before the love of God broke through
Remember the days you were without grace
And you see where you are now
Remember your chains
And remember your chains are gone

How easy it is to forget. But we must remember. Don't believe the lies and allurements of sin. Remember your chains!
