Worth the wait- Proverbs 7

Okay so back on the subject of adultery and marriage.
proverbs 7 says:
vs. 26 "For she has cast down many wounded, and all who were slain by her were strong men."
Even the strongest fail! The woman who seeks men, she knows their weakness, she has a devious plan. It is not okay to lie with her then, now, or ever! Even if your not married you can committ adultery. Sex before marriage is kinda like premarital adultery. You have to take in the future aspects of your choice. A wise friend once told me that "When making choices, think not about the here and now but the now and later. the choices we make today don't neccesarily affect the today, but moreso the later."
Let's say scenario wise your in a dating relationship. Maybe you only kiss, maybe you only hug or hold hands, or maybe just maybe its more in depth than the surface. Your doing things that the Lord would not honor. How will that affect the future? If you give yourself away before you marry, its just like committing adulltery. True, you don't know the future someone yet, but your still giving away something that should belong to them to someone else, and taking away that something from someone elses someone. I'm sure you've heard stories about the wedding night, finding out the spouse didn't wait or did wait. They can be happy nights or be hurtful nights. Not only do we take away from one another when we have sex before marriage but we could also affect the future by giving ourselves away mentally and heartfully. One wednesday night a coupld years ago we did a lesson on dating. A woman stood up and did a skit, the just of it was she had a flower. Each guy that came along she gave it out to him, the first guy appreciated it, smelt it and felt the silkiness of it and handed it back. Then another guy came along and took it, he took a few petals from it and went on his way. Then 2 more came along took some petals away, one even threw it down. She picked it up and on the night of her honeymoon she handed this wilted, beaten flower to her husband and she said "It's all i have left." It made me cry, to think that we do give our hearts out so easily, we want to find love so badly either because its a desire or we need to feel secure. We feel liek realtionships will bring that, therefore we give our heart to each guy or girl that tells us they love us. WE think they are the "one" then finally when we meet the one we no longer have anything to give at all if very little. You can never get a peice of your heart back once you give it away, its always stuck to that person. Kinda like when you stick ducttape on your arm it pulls some hair off, and then it gets no longer sticky, after you keep pulling it off and putting it on. Lately among the whole kissing dating goodbye for now, i chose to save myself completely. Not only my body, but my mind and heart. If i do date someone i don't want to let my heart be taken, let kissed be stolen. Every time i think of dating, kissing or holding hands ill store the feeling and action in my piggybank of my heart that way i can give it all to my future husband. Preventing the hurt now, to prevent it for the future. Looking at the bigger picture that a guy could get mad or choose someone else over me because i won't give them what they want, but i know that my future husband will aprreciate i saved my self completely for him and him alone. This may not be for everyone but it is a challenege that i think could be worth it! I know i'm worth the wait, so the future someone should be worth the wait as well.

You are soo right! We girls do tend to give our hearts out too easily! (And, I will tell you from my experience.. kisses from the man that God made FOR you are so much better than the "rejects" that we allow ourselves to settle for in the meantime.)

Do you believe that all scripture was meant for our instruction? If so, read the story of Eve being created FOR Adam in Genesis. We believe that God created ME specifically for my husband. My strengths match his weaknesses and vice versa. That has become a very important scripture for our marriage.

I'll be praying for you and your commitment. Keep reading! :)
