Lust speaks different languages to men and women. Men are physical creatures, so tempting thoughts often begin with some form of visual stimulation. A woman, on the other hand, can find herself knocking at the door of lust's temptation when a man plays on her emotions.
No matter what language it uses, we are not to entertain the thoughts that lust is trying to speak into our mind. Scripture tells us to think on things that are pure, admirable, noble, right, and lovely so that we can steer clear of temptation. In other words, we should only think about things that will build us up. And lustful thoughts, if we entertain them at all, are sure to tear us down.
God has given us the beautiful gift of sexual desire with the intention of sharing it with only one person—our spouse. So before you allow a tempting thought to warp its way into a harmful action, take a step back. Recognize the lies of lust. And allow God to replace those lustful thoughts with thoughts that will bring you closer to him. Just a thought-:o)
