I've been encouraged by my boss/friend to come to people in Church for help much more often. I didn't understand that we are meant to be there for each other in our temptations and trials. Now that I have him as an accountability partner through Truple, I find it less tempting to use my current devices for viewing anything sensual at all, knowing that I won't be able to lie to him about it. This method is not foolproof. No method is, because there's still other, rather expensive, ways around it that I won't mention here. But reaching out for help was the extra step I needed to take to more fully appreciate the family that God has provided me through Jesus Christ. Truple is the tool that we chose to use for this, and it has been quite effective so far. I've had one fall, and it was my one and only fall that I've ever had with accountability software. I discovered that when others know when I fall, because I couldn't hide it, my own awareness of my fall helped increased, and it helped me realize all the more how shameful it truly is to sin against my Saviour. I haven't fallen again since, partly because the discipline involved when others see my shame.
Ultimately, I need God's grace to avoid finding ways around Truple, but I am thankful for the extra help of the Church through this program. None of us were ever meant to face this world all alone:
"And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you." (1 Corinthians 12:21 KJV)
"That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another. And whether one member suffer, all the members suffer with it; or one member be honoured, all the members rejoice with it." (1 Corinthians 12:25-26 KJV)
Therefore, I have a new motive of love for my brothers and sisters who would be grieved by a fall, and I know for sure that my accountability partners would be.
