Description
Unwanted. It describes how we feel about some of the things we do. We don't wake up in the morning looking forward to giving our evening over to pornography. We don't leave the house each day eagerly anticipating our next one-night stand. These are unwanted behaviors on our part, no matter how compulsively we pursue them. But 'unwanted' also can describe how we feel about ourselves-both as a consequence of our broken behavior and as a driver of it. If we have the courage to study our sexual brokenness-to look beyond the shame of it to its roots-we will find that there's a deeper brokenness there waiting to be healed, and a God there waiting to be our healer.
