James says our lust creates fights, wars and quarrels within ourselves and with other people. We lust and then we fight. We lust after things and we don't get them and we get mad and angry and irritable and selfish. Ja. 4;1-2 This has been happening to me for years. All of sudden I am fighting with my wife or my kids or I am mad and i don't even know why.
By forsaking all lust, God has showed me that it was my lust that was ruining my life and my relationships. Oswald Chambers says when we obey God's commands, God gives us clarity and understanding. Our obedience gets rid of confusion. I can attest this is so true. Wholeheartedly obey Jesus. With all your heart get rid of the little sins that are hidden inside of you. Then you will see clearly. As Jesus said, take the plank out of your own eye then you will see clearly to cast the speck out of your brother. Mt. 7: 3-5
Lust is selfish and selfishness leads to quarrels and greed and idolatry. Get rid of all lust. Not a little bit but all of it. Purpose in your heart to not go back to lust, not even in a small way.
Let Jesus be glorified.
