So my brother or sister, I hope I have helped you with this text. Do not feel embarrassed to look at a beautiful woman who appears before you. But do not let the desire enter your heart. Just watch and nothing else.
Keep your heart clean, always. Think of something good. Do not be contaminated with the impurities of this world. If you are married or married, treat your partner with much love. They should deserve your affection.
Never let the enemy plant in your mind that you could have married someone more beautiful or beautiful. This is a lie. Jesus has put the right person to walk with you. It is the Lord's choice to glorify His name in you.
Do not let your eyes be scandalized, but joyful to God. When someone's beauty touches your heart, go to him or her and talk about the love of Christ. Maybe it's someone who lives alone or alone because of her own beauty.

Unfortunately not everyone thinks so. They are ignorant in faith. It's just like someone who can not forgive the other. They carry everything in iron and fire. For them, all Christians would be blind or wear sunglasses.
Christianity also suffers from this disease: radicalism! Many can not think with the mind of Christ. They treat all questions in the wrong way. All they need to do is ask the sisters to use burqas inside the churches. This is not where we should go.
We need to talk like adults. Show that it is wrong to look at anyone and want it. This is not correct. It's adultery. It is incorrect to avoid contemplating this person as something that reveals the creativity and wisdom of God.
It's like stopping in traffic and seeing a Ferrari park next to us. Is it a sin to watch that car? The mature Christian should pray for the owner of that car. So that his wealth does not keep him from the Lord and can throw him into the abyss.

We can not fall into the error of extremism, as do the radical Muslims in some African and Middle Eastern countries, mutilating part of the vagina, so that the woman does not feel pleasure. Any form of radicalism is not beneficial.
We need as men and women of God, to pray to the Lord to strengthen us and to have his eyes. When someone of great beauty is before us, may we observe that person with the vision of Jesus Christ. Not otherwise.
This is how true servants are to act. In my profession (journalism) there are beautiful women. Some of swing the heart of any weak Christian in faith. But I always see it through the eyes of the Lord.
Many even ask me for advice and say that I am a thoughtful person. He does not see them wanting sex, but as a person concerned about his well-being. I'm wary. I try to talk to them in front of others.

It is in this hour that maturity enters. Think wisely. Imagine the Christian gynecologist who refuses to attend women in his office? His situation is delicate, because he will see and touch the patient's vagina.
Are you going to quit your profession? What if you are a doctor who treats sexually transmitted diseases? Will not any man who has this problem attend? It's something delicate. We can not judge with emotion, but rightly so.
It's like you look at the piece of chocolate cake in the shop window, but without feeling the gluttonous attack on the stomach. Life goes on. God did not create someone handsome to serve unclean spirits. He created them for His Glory.
Imagine Jacob standing before Rachel. What made him fall in love with her? Your beauty. It was so big that she did not mind working 14 years to have her by her side. Did he sin to admire her? You need to think about certain issues rationally.

See that paradox. A woman so beautiful and at the same time frustrated. Live alone! You can not start a relationship with anyone. Any man who approaches her is afraid to take no. And, of course, many do not even try.
Is it a sin to look at this sister? No! As long as it is with the eyes of Jesus Christ, without wickedness in the heart, desire to have sex with her. This is the error of many preachers. They look like a firearm in the hands of the Christian.
Emphasize that looking at a woman will send that person to hell! We need spiritual maturity. Have a clean heart. How many times have I talked to this sister, whom I quoted in this text. I understand her situation.
It is necessary to separate the will to sin and to help someone. Talk about Christ with that person without words. Everything must have order and decency. You can not fall into the trap of going alone in that person's house and staying in the room. It's trying God.

The comparison appears. It is as they say in relation to marriage, which is the same restaurant menu: "the neighbor's plate seems better than the one chosen by us". The problem is that beauty is seductive, it never reveals its content at once.
I know a Christian woman. That I even baptized her. She is very beautiful, both face and body. It is someone who draws attention to where to pass, be it skirt, dress or long trousers. One who God has captivated in the attributes of beauty.
For those who do not know it, the thirst for desire will explode on top of it. Because it's someone worthy to leave on the cover of any magazine. It is very difficult for a man to look at her and not feel desire to possess her, such a beauty.
However, it is a person who faces many battles. Men are afraid to approach her. Sometimes it is depressing, feels like throwing everything up and running away from everyone. Cry. Because many discriminate against it. He lives by crying out for prayers.

With the fashion of Gospel Music invading churches in Latin America, many false worshipers wear sexy clothing to draw attention during their performances. Weird worshipers who dress decently.
That's when visual adultery shows up. For a fraction of a second, people look at that person, and the mind is filled with indecent proposals. Like what it would be to be with that person in a sexual relationship!
As one speaks in slang, one travels in that image. How many sisters, whose husbands no longer have their bodies healed 30 years ago, and baldness is already a reality in their head, as opposed to the beautiful hair of the dating season, are not they tempted?
Or even the brother, seeing that beautiful woman, with well-brushed hair, super-shapely legs, beautiful makeup and slim body; different from his beloved, already punished by the time and pregnancy of two or three children.

Today is not news that the style of dressing pushes the sensuality. Women, especially in the West, abuse clothes that leave their breasts and legs exposed, fueling the libido of men and even of lesbians.
Men are not left behind either. Many wear tight clothing, especially pants, valuing the genital area. Others wear t-shirts or tight shirts to highlight the outcome of workouts on the chest and back.
Just as men are attracted to sensual women, so is the opposite. How many sisters, weak in faith, did not covet the body-worked preacher at a gym during a service?
Young people are not far behind. Teenagers wear shorts or even short skirts, highlighting thighs and legs. When crossing the legs in the chairs it is visible to see the intimate clothes. When warned, they say that it has nothing to do.

But what is looking at someone? Wishing and looking are different things. Otherwise, we would have to walk the streets blindfolded. There will always be beautiful people, whether men or women. There is no avoiding this.
We need maturity. It is no sin to look at someone handsome. Wrong is to look and feel desire to have sexual intercourse with her or him. This is wrong. It is mental adultery. It is to open the thought and visualize that person in our bed. This is wrong.
But how can this kind of adultery be avoided? You need to fathom your heart my brother or sister. How is your fellowship with God? Are you a Christian who seeks the Lord in prayer? Is your mind clean or does it only think of crap all day?
The form of relationship with God is important so that we do not fall into this trap. If you are weak in faith, you can be sure that the image of a handsome person will stir up the latent desire in your heart. Do not doubt it.

Adultery! Word that always appears in preaching. Some use it in a terrorist way, putting fear in the Christian. Tracing the worst of the worlds. As if our eyes were sources of sin and instruments to throw us into hell.
There is the adultery of betraying the husband or wife with another. In case you have a lover. But what about mental adultery? How it works? Is it dangerous or not? It is in this harvest that many preachers lose their course and cast many sheep into the abyss.
Shoot the first stone who ever, pay close attention, never looked at a beautiful woman in the street or even in the airport lounge? Someone who caught everyone's attention when he arrived there, whether in skirt, dress or even in slacks.
It is at this point that I intend to come and discuss with the thousands of people who read my articles in this blog in different regions of the planet. In places, I will never be able to someday step on my feet, from so far as it is from my country, in this case Brazil.
