Now I really know what it can take away from me... The progression described in the chapter seems to summarize well what happened to her - From eyes to heart to action. And then follow shame and regret.
For today's dare:
* lust for smooth sailing (didn't want to be tested and let God mold me)
* sexual pleasure
* power and possessions
It cost me to disconnect with God and with my wife which I'm rebuilding with His help. I seek Him and my spouse... trust God with everything.
IF you have read the appendix you will also be able to fit the "Leading your Heart" with this dare.
Lust is totally following your heart, and as we all know it is the most deceitful thing we have.
Just read the appendix on leading your heart. Good contrast on "following your heart" and "leading your heart". I'd always invested time, money and energy in worldly things and did not invest in heaven where Christ is ... where your treasure is there your heart be also. I learned that I need to check my heart to see where it's been and set my heart on things above.
Now, impliment this to your daily dares. It helps.
