““View sexual purity as a walk, not a destination. You won’t find sexual purity on any map. So don’t expect to arrive at a place in your life where you experience zero sexual lust, zero sexual temptation or zero sexual fantasies. Your goal is to walk properly today (Romans 13:13). Don’t aim to eventually conquer your sexual urges and temptations and sexual sins.

Sexual purity isn’t a destination you hope to reach tomorrow—it’s a walk you take with the Lord today.””
