The three of us sat down in the mall food court. It was just a typical day of shopping. To my right was a student I have discipled, across from me was her sister. As we talked about things in their lives and choices they were making, I began to share a simple truth about pursuing Jesus.
“If you will pursue Jesus and the things of Him, those things you are struggling with will become less attractive.” I told them. It was a truth I have shared many times. The key to overcoming sin is not to sit down and tell yourself don’t do it over and over again. The more you think about sin, the more you want to do it. You have to focus less on what you don’t want to do and focus more on Jesus.
I could see the sister was interested in what I was saying. She asked me, “How do I focus more on Jesus?”
