the other side

First John chapter four verse four states, “You are from God, little children, and you have conquered them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” The night before all I could think about was how big this mountain looked in front of me. I’ve often thought I was never going to be able to overcome porn because it’s so ingrained in my life, mainly in my mind. 

God reminded me that He has been on the other side of this mountain. It doesn’t matter if I don’t know what the road holds because He does. He knows the goodness that is on the other side. He is building me for the pain that will arise. The victor is more than victorious with God. Immediately tears streamed down my face as I was brought back to the reality of God’s power. 

It’s really easy for me to focus so much on the human and not enough on the Creator. Porn is a man made perversion of what God deemed as beautiful between man and his wife. My brain has changed due to watching over the years. God knows exactly what needs to be healed and recovered. He has seen the other side. I live through the goodness, the emotional and the painful cravings.

 I’ll live through it and get to the other side a little different than I was before.
