Surrendered Sexuality Quotes

“Your greatest problem is not your sexual temptations, your desires, or your wounds. Your greatest problem is that you don’t believe the foundational truth of what God says about you. You might be able to tell your neighbor with great conviction, “God loves you! He forgives you!” But you can’t quite believe that enough to stake your own life on that truth.”
