Hi Ananya, God bless you!

I am glad you promised. Kind of watch who you are making promises to. There's a Bible verse about making promises to God.

When you make a promise to God, don't delay in following through, for God takes no pleasure in fools. Keep all the promises you make to him. (Ecclesiastes 5:4 NLT)

Did you promise your mother, did you make a promise to yourself? Always think carefully who you make promises to. God takes promises or vows to Him very seriously. Sometimes I have found I promised myself and I promised Him.

God bless,

Mary

Our relationship with Jesus grows as we learn and listen to his word for us through scripture. First, in all things go to God. Jesus many , many times prayed about what was happening to him. Bring to God your heart and learn from his word, fellowship and know that his will for you is in the beauty of his love for you.

Sin regardless of what type of sin, is defeated by us relying on God's strength not our own. The battle of us against sin is one we win with God leading the way for us. God's love is pure. Sin is false and empty and doomed. Love what is pure and good.

Philippians 4:4-8 NIV

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

From my experience, it is better not to watch porn.
You will find no real happiness in it .
If you remember how you felt while/after watching it.
It is only short-term passion…It does not help our love, but it destroys our love.
Sex brings possessiveness , envy and violence…
Think about how many murder happen each day because of sex possessiveness,
and envy? If it is beneficial to our love, why would it cause people killing other people? Why would it cause people curse another to live a bad life?

Passion is like wine, it can only last very short time, during which time
we are apt to make promises that we are going to regret for the rest of our life.

God knows how bad we are, but still love us. 

It is easy for us to love someone who is kind, but it is
always too early to conclude that someone is kind…if I look at myself honestly
and check what is going on in my mind all day long,
remember that the same is also going around in other’s mind.
You will understand that :
No one is kind, except God.

I do not think I can find true love from human beings.
Forget about it…Turn to the God, only his love is everlasting.
