Unka Glen's Citadel of Enlightenment: Nakedness and art and lust →
Anonymous asked: I love God. I have struggled with lust almost my whole life. I bring this up because I am an art student and there is an entire class on studying the human figure. Nude. The models are sitting there in class. It is more annoying than anything else, but how can I deal with…
“But it may actually be an empowering exercise, with the Lord, to see beauty in the human body, and to NOT let that vision be crowded out by lust. Maybe then you can show us, with your art, how we can do the same.
What a joy, to think of being at that point where you’re not giving in to the ride that lust wants to take you on. Maybe that’s what great art is really all about, something that takes us beyond our mere appetites, to see the fingerprints of God Himself.” A lot of Christians ask about this topic when they find out I go to art school, and I’m always interested to hear what other people have to say. I LOVE the last line of this. ah. yes.
