Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew, Chapter 5, verses 27-28.
This makes me think of when I am attracted to particular male movie stars and have thought inappropriate things that only God knows about. He also knows all the times that I think mean, hateful things about other people. Of course, no one else knows these things except for God and me, but I just stuff them under my spiritual rug like someone who can’t find a dustpan. God sees what I think and what’s under my rug, so I need to start “cleaning house” soon!
