Proverbs: Chapter 5:

Chapter 5: Warning Against Adultery:

Take a seat. For the 5th time, listen to me. I am beyond an expert in women and I have indulged beyond anyone else before my time, during my time, and throughout the test of time. I have tasted and enjoyed every want man could ever seek from the body of a woman and relished in sex. I didn't want for size, color, curvature, hair color, eye color, etc. I had all my desires quenched through my journey of sexual indulgences.

Women have a lure to them that is unlike anything else you will experience in life. They will draw you towards them with their feminine wiles and seek to devour you. Their lips will continue to bring you back to them and their words will only increase your desires within you. Yet, you will be left feeling bitter and broken inside if you give into her sultry ways. (I am not speaking of all women, I am speaking of those who long to only feel sexual pleasures, not meaningful soul-to-soul connection. They yearn for passion, but an only temporary passion. They want commitment, but only for a short time. They want to feel loved, but only if they must merely expose their bodies, not their heart, mind, thoughts, and soul. They want to captivate you for a short time and then be gone, this leaves the suspense of the unknown.) This type of woman is not following a path that leads to life, it only leads to death. Do not give in to her! Yes, she will be stunningly sexy, she will tempt you with many wondrous offers, but it won't be worth it in the end. (It is easy to fall jump into this trap and seek first the physical and put aside the deep conversations. Quick intimacy is something I have certainly struggled with within my life and I found value in it, but it was nothing but a curse. There is no eternal found in purely physical indulgences. It is only temporary satisfaction.) She isn't aware of what she is doing, she is lost in a forest of sexual sin and cannot escape it. She has found her purpose in pleasing others through sexual acts and that is where she finds her identity. Listen to me! (For the 6th time). Stay away from these women! They will bring nothing to you that is of value. If they seek your body before they seek your heart and soul, flee from them and don't turn back. You will be taken away from many if you choose to enter her door and she will take your honor from you. Strangers will mock you behind your back and your livelihood will be lost in her chambers. You will look back on these moments as vanity and realize they only brought you pain. She will alter how you see other women, don't give into her. Don't allow your mind to be corrupted by the evil that comes from the sultry women. She will consume your thoughts if you allow her to. Son, I never found a woman whom I truly loved, I was consumed by lust. Listen to me.

Become a man who is ready to be married and then find one woman to marry. One woman to love, cherish, desire, enjoy and be intoxicated by her. Seek to enjoy one another and be joyous! She is a graceful woman created in the image of God who longs to be shown the love of a man, show her love. Allow yourself to be satisfied by her and her you. Drink the joy of sex between a husband and wife and don't seek out forbidden women. Do not compare your wife to other women, ever. She is yours and you are hers. Do not stray from the path of your wife, cultivate within each other a love for God and grow together while you chase joy. Happiness is fleeting, seek joy. Thrilling sex will come and go, seek a soul-to-soul connection. Physical beauty is temporary, love your spouse for who they are. God sees all things we do and knows our thoughts, if we are not disciplined in Christ, we will die from a lack of wisdom. We will come and go like the wind and be miserable in our death. Folly is the path to death. Wisdom is the path to life.

Dear Lord, as I continue to try and give my heart over to you I struggle with lust. At times I struggle with destroying the beauty of your creation by belittling women to nothing but a physical being within my mind. I create a false beauty and steal the beauty that is found within them and cheat myself of truly knowing them. Destroy the sin within me that I have brought upon myself and create in me a new heart. Bless me with the gift of loving, adoring, and cherishing one woman's heart and soul for everything you created her to be. Amen.
