God’s word tells you, “your name is written on the palm of His hand,” and that “He knows the number of hairs on your head,” and that “It was for you He died.” 

Consider this - The same is true for the porn actress and the man you just swiped left for. God designed you and lives in you. God designed and lives in them.  We encounter God when we encounter other people. 

There’s a lot packed in this short episode, let’s begin.

Highlights:

“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” Matthew 5:8

“Because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.” Romans 1:19

Because of God’s goodness and love for everyone; we encounter God when we encounter other people.

We are meant to honor others because God has made them in His image and likeness. There is something about them that God sees and honors and loves and delights in. And He sees them as children.

What does this have to do with our struggles with pornography or lust? The answer is not just for you to look away.

Seek to cooperate with God’s gracious work in our hearts and in our eyes and in our minds so that we begin to participate with the idea that what we are looking at, who we are looking at, is someone who bears the image of God and who He delights in.

Homework:

On a practical level, begin to pray for people you see, be intentional to engage with people and treat them as people.

Use your imagination to remember truths about the persons you encounter - they have a mother and a father, they have hopes and dreams, they go home at the end of the day.
