One thing I have noticed about men is that they see windows of opportunity everywhere. They see them in business, getting praise, and even in lusting.
It’s true that some women make it easier to objectify them in the way they dress. However, lust is always our choice and responsibility. Lust will highlight the fact that there’s “opportunity.”
Lust uses opportunity because men like opportunity. When we capitalize on opportunity in other areas of life, we feel a sense of accomplishment. However, when we follow the lies of lust, we will do something. This “something” will bring harm to us, and later, guilt and shame.
The real opportunity to be lust-free is to see a woman as a daughter of God. Begin to pray for her, yourself, and your wife and kids. Make a call when lust highlights an opportunity and you will win. At that point you will have done something good, something you won’t later regret. You will feel the confidence that comes from accomplishment. All opportunities are times to live lust-free. It’s your choice.
