You MUST love God or you wouldn't be torn up about this!!!!!! let me repeat, YOU MUST LOVE GOD OR YOU WOULDN'T BE TORN UP ABOUT THIS. First of all, you'll never conquer sin while living in guilt and condemnation. The more you beat yourself up about what you're doing the more you will run to it for comfort. You certainly won't run to God because you fear His rejection, anger or punishment but it's His ***PERFECT*** love for you that casts out fear(I john 4:18---meditate on that scripture). You have permission, thru Christs' sacrifice to approach the throne of God, boldly, and ask for His help every time you're tempted(Hebrews 4:18; Hebrews 4:15-16)and when you do sin He promises to forgive you and cleanse you if you confess the sin(I John 1:9). I'm not just "throwing scripture at you", I've been there and I've found myself continuously confessing my yielding to the same sin so much that I wanted to run because surely God wouldn't take me coming to Him ONE MORE TIME. But by doing so I began to see that sin differently, I got tired of it and by His grace I was delivered from it. IT TOOK TIME, TIME, TIME! God hates sin, but He loves YOU and He knows your heart and your struggles. Your freedom from this and any sin is found in abiding in God's word. Please read Romans 6,7,8 until your eyeballs fall out.....REALLY! And press on in God's love. Don't ever run FROM Him. You---will---be--alright!!!![:D]. Praying for you......
