Face it gentlemen... we cannot ignore (nor do we want to on a subconscious level) women. They fill our thoughts, drive our eyes & hearts and more often than not, motivate our actions... both righteous & unrighteous.
A lesson I'm reminded of however, from the late Jim Elliot:
"No one warns young people to follow Adam's example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him. We need more of this 'being asleep' in the will of God. Then we can receive what He brings us in His own time, if at all. Instead we are set as blood-hounds after a partner, considering everyone we see until our minds are so concerned with the sex problem that we can talk of nothing else when bull-session time comes around. It is true that a fellow cannot ignore women---but he can think of them as he ought---as sisters, not as sparring partners. "
So sisters, be patient with us and pray for us... even as we seek to daily walk in Christ :)
