Day 3

How often you have gazed upon another correctly? Have you seen the radiance of those that reflect the glory of the King? Our brothers and sisters all around us were fashioned to resemble the one who loves us. Let us honor them.

Focus

“He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.” —Proverbs 6:32

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” —Psalm 34:18

When we value others based upon how they arouse us, we ignore their dignity AND ours.  Lustful longings reduce the viewer and the viewed to mere objects. Love, on the other hand, sees our brothers and sisters in their dignity—as princesses and princes of the King. Pornography is the interaction of people with shattered self-worth – both the user and the used. Yet God draws close in the chaos to bind us up, even when we are trembling and crushed. See His children as He does—with care and dignity. Just as He sees you!

Journal

Take 2-3 minutes and journal what you imagined your day would look like if you believed today’s truth. Despite the fall, we are glorious, and He is able!
