Although he could mangle a lion, Samson could not overpower his lust and actually see Delilah for who she really was. How can you keep your desire for love and sexual pleasure from deceiving you? 1. You must decide what kind of person you will love before passion takes over. Determine whether a person’s inside is as inviting as the outside. 2. Because most of the time you spend with your spouse will not involve sex, your companion’s personality, interests, and willingness to solve problems are just as important as his or her physique. 3. A second perspective often reveals what is beneath the surface. (14:3)

Maybe you’ve been playing games til now
Maybe we’ve been playing games here
Maybe you don’t know why God is that important
Maybe you’re timid, unsure, or worried
I want God to say about me that the world was not worthy of me.
