So, I know this subject can be weird and awkward, but I feel like it's not talked about enough from a Biblical standpoint: sex. Specifically holy sexuality. In our world, sex is looked at as something to do when we are board, if we feel an immediate attraction to someone, of if we are truly in love. It doesn't matter if we are married or not, the same gender or not, or if we barley even know the person.
Now I'm not saying that sex is a bad thing. Trust me it's not! God created sex, but there's a catch: He made it specifically for a married man and woman. And guess what? That is the BEST way to enjoy that gift God has made! But since I am not married (yet), the thoughts about sex are a little different for me. For me, and a lot of you out there, the struggle about sex right now is if it is worth waiting until marriage. So many teens have already done it, why not us? Well I know a few people who lost their virginity before marriage. It hurt. It didn't feel good. They felt empty and wasted. I have always thought of my virginity as the one last pure thing I have left that God gave me. The rest of me is dirty with sin (but made clean again by Jesus death). I want to save that last clean thing I have for the ONE man God has picked out for me. I want to fulfill that clean gift the right way. Not just throw it away to any guy that wants it.
I will admit, I have wondered what it would be like to do it, other then the only way I have been taught. You know sometimes it sounds good. Especially when I haven't had a boyfriend yet, I am really looking forward to the guy who loves me and thinks that who I am as my own self is an amazing person. If's it's hard now, I can't imagine when I do have that guy in my life. The temptation is going to be hard! Talk and pray about it. Focus on the the beauty and joy it will bring you when you know you have done it the way God intended it to be. Weather you are in a relationship right now or not, think about what God says about sexuality. Are you thinking that way? And if you have already lost that gift to someone, YOU ARE FORGIVEN by GOD. Your heavenly Father, who loves you and wants the best for you. Don't think you're not worth more than one night with some random guy (or girl), or even someone special you're not married to. You were forgiven as soon as your mind made the decision. Start new! Repent and begin to live life as a child of God once again. Because you can never loose THAT gift!
God's blessings to you as we start this season of Advent, preparing for the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ the Messiah!
