Hello Beautiful People!
I pray you all are doing wonderful and are blessed. Its been a few days and boy do we need to chat! So I've recently been talking to ( just friends) someone from my past. I'm still very cautious of people because I am a Christian set out to truly live God's way. I know the enemy can use anyone to trip me up so I have to be on my toes. Guard your Heart- Proverbs 4:23
But this feels different. I don't feel weak or easily manipulated. I have a strength that I've never felt before. You all know my covenant with God not to have sex before marriage. Well that has been a hot topic. I haven't been pressured or anything like that but its interesting to hear other peoples view on it. Some people see it as holding out a prize and only winning it when you get married. Others feel that if you can stay without sex while (dating/courting) you can still do without it in marriage. And then there are the ones that see it only as a way to have children and do not think it should be had in pleasure during marriage ( CRAY CRAY...I Know).
I vowed to God that I would not have sex again until marriage because 1. God requires it 2. God established it perfectly. In marriage (Gods way) there is protection, and intimacy known only between the two of you. There is love and then the fruits of that love which is children. When your dating and having sex, there is great element of error; unplanned pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, EMOTIONAL WRECKAGE and many more things. But in marriage Gods way, you both protect each other, mentally, emotionally, Spiritually and physically.
This is a very difficult vow to make and keep. Honestly, it wasn't until I linked up with this person again that I realized the vow is not only hard for me but for whoever it is that I am courting with. That person is apart of the vow as well. He may not hold as high as a responsibility as I do before God, since I am the one that made the covenant. But the person, must restrain himself and rebuke temptation and perverseness as well. Nonetheless, we are here living the vow. No matter how long it takes or what happens with courting. The covenant I made with God must be kept. Proverbs 20:25 - Don't trap yourself by making a rash promise to God and only later counting the cost. This is a mighty decision that should not be taken lightly. However, I have seen and heard of the beautiful outcome. I know God's rewards and blessings are far more incredible than precious and rare jewels. More marvelous and wonderful than anything the human mind can fathom. So in conjunction with my vow, I pray that God strengthen and guide the man who courts me and the same for me. That we do not bring ruin upon ourselves by breaking this vow. I pray. So I am asking all of you, as my love story is still being written and as I share with you all that I learn, think and feel, please keep me in your prayers. Please lift me and whomever God has for me up to the throne in prayer for strength, wisdom and protection.
Love You to Peace,
