I have coped with the flirty boy and the compliant type of boy that you describe, but I am also lucky enough to have met the third type of boy that needs the affection and a devotion as great if not greater than their parents can give, but who would be alarmed to know that we also have a sexual love for them. Such a boy makes a friendship so much easier but I hope that we never avoid a friendship to any child that needs it.
1 CORINTHIANS 10:
12 If you feel sure that you are standing firm, beware! You may fall.
13 So far you have faced no trial beyond what man can bear. God keeps faith, and he will not allow you to be tested above your powers, but when the test comes he will at the same time provide a way out, by enabling you to sustain it.
