Hi Ben, I think it is much to your credit that you recognized, and more important admitted to yourself that you convinced the boy to shed his shirt so that you could better see his handsmome body. Many times we will do things and contrive an excuse for the reason we have done them. God reveals our shortcomings to us a little at a time, then it is up to us to do something about them. As we overcome them, He will reveal a little more to us, for us to work on. That's the value of guilt. However, if God were to reveal all our shortcomings, sins and failures to us at once, we would, no doubt, be overwhelmed, and give up.
