In your unwanted sexual behavior, you were pursuing a knockoff version of worship. The behavior baited you, but when you bit the fruit, your soul knew it had been duped. Therefore, the greatest risk you will take in sexual healing is to allow your heart to be released to be seduced again. If you use sex to escape life or pursue pleasure apart from relationship, you will wither. But if you allow sex to bridge you to worship, you will discover the deepest longings of your heart. God exchanges our unwanted ashes for beauty, sexual silence for discovery, and shame for erotic pleasure.
