Grateful heart Quote by Steve Gallagher
““Gratitude quenches the fire of lust. A thankful spirit destroys the driving passion for sex because it creates contentment within the man’s heart. It soothes the beast, smothers the flames, and medicates the itch. The message behind lust is, “I want! I want! I want!” The feeling lodged within the grateful heart is, “Look at all I have! Thank You Lord, for all that You have done for me and given me. I don’t need anything else.” A grateful heart is a full heart.””
