James 1:13-15 KJV
13) Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
14) But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15) Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.
For some the desire is too much ice cream, and for some the desire is power over others. Some want reputation and honor. Some want, well, people want all sorts of things.
Trust and Love are so much more than Law, and cover so much more than codified rules. I urge anyone who is of the mind that they always act in trust and love, maybe a reality check, ask someone who knows you, who sees you, for an honest answer.
We can say, I don't Murder, I don't Steal, I don't Lie, and so on, I'm OK, right? Do we lie by misrepresenting others for effect? Do we steal the glory of another? There are many many ways our flesh seeks to deceive us, the deceptive lusts, deceptive making us think we want it. Deceptive making us think we can't stop it.
Much love!
