I never get to the END of mortifying SIN because sin in my heart, where it's still marauding EVEN though it's no longer dominant, sin in my heart is constantly EXPRESSING itself in new disorderly desires.

However it is debased or misinterpreted, love is a redemptive FEATURE. To FOCUS on one INDIVIDUAL so that their desires become superior to yours is a very CLEANSING experience.

He who REIGNS within himself and rules PASSIONS, desires, and fears is more than a KING.

Children in a family are like flowers in a bouquet: there's ALWAYS one DETERMINED to FACE in an opposite direction from the WAY the arranger desires.

I was TAUGHT to be demure, so it was harder for me to learn how to STAND up for myself and GO, 'What do I WANT? What are my desires?'
