90 Days to Wholeness: A Porn Addiction Recovery Devotional for WomenSample

Jesus was very clear in His teachings that it is imperative we treat others in the way we would like to be treated. He even said that loving others as we love ourselves is  equally important as loving Him. It’s a big deal. 

So let’s consider if the confession roles were reversed. Imagine you had a friend or acquaintance in your life that struggled with sexual addiction and they decided to come to you in confession.

How would you hope to be met at the door? Can you believe for the best in people? Why or why not?
