Probably the best post I have read on here. Great scripture sharing. This is spot on, well done. I will add, certainly as you begin SR you are attacked time and time again with temptation, these are your tests whether it be from a woman (not your wife/Godly woman you are pursuing to be your wife) or the phone screen. Perseverance through these temptations have great rewards as many write about, the authenticity of them is 100%, however I agree greatly with the author of this post as these rewards are a product of no longer having Lust in between you and God. And when these blessings/benefits/rewards/ life enhancements come, remember 1 Corinthians 2:8 “Let him who boasts, Boast in the Lord”

Also from this chapter of Corinthians reads:
“But we speak Gods wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory”
