What is purity?
Is there a simple answer?
Yes? No? Maybe?

I know Christ lived a life of purity. I know He was as much God as He was man and as much man as He was God. My mind cannot comprehend that at all. How can one be tempted with EVERYTHING that we are tempted with yet never even allow his thoughts to go where they are not suppose to go? This baffles me. Not even a small portion of it makes sense.
Why would we be told to strive to live as Christ even though we know that we will fail everyday? Doesn't this make you as frustrated as it makes me? I know that people are capable of making the right decisions. However, we are prone to making the wrong decisions. It's our nature. We can't escape it.
Perhaps the most inconcievable trait of God is that He has done all He has done for us KNOWING we are going to mess things up and CONTINUES to be there for us and love us and help us. I don't get it. I can't.
Some people will take full advantage of this and say that if God is going to forgive them, they can go ahead and mess up because God's grace is more than amazing. Then there are others who are fearful of even breathing wrong because they are afraid of His wrath.
I've gotten off track so now back to the original question. "What is purity?" I think this is one of those questions that is going to smack me in the face if I try to go further in depth with it at this point. It's just something I was thinking about though. I guess the main point of my thoughts is that God truly is wonderful and amazing. He's stuck with me closer than anyone ever has. He's allowed me to learn lessons the hard way but that's all because of our free will and being allowed to make decisions for myself. I wish I wasn't allowed to make decisions for myself sometimes because it would make the world a better place. Haha.
So I guess in other words...I'm so clueless, or appear to be, about many things. I need God's guidance. If I don't have it I am only going to mess something else up.
I've made a committment to purity and I have to continue to work at it. I've made specific committments within that and that's where my area of focus will stay until I am ready to branch out further into more areas of my life. It isn't easy. I don't know why I ever expected it to be. I just know that I have my work cut out for me but I am a hard worker so I HAVE to keep at it. I will choose to keep at it. There are reminders for me along the way, I just cannot allow myself to look over the reminders.

In the chaos
In confusion
I know you're sovereign still
In the moment
Of my weakness
You give me grace to do your will
