It's my body, I'l do with it what I want...

Except it's not MY body, it now belongs to the Holy Spirit. Since I was a teenager I remember wanting to save my virginity, and by God's grace I have. But it is only recently that I see WHY purity is so valuable. It is because I am valuable. The church has portrayed sex as shameful, while the world has portrayed it as casual, with no value or importance. The two extremes are both not what God had in mind when he created sex. Let's just focus on what that last sentence stated: God created sex. He mad it. God cannot make anything shameful or wrong. It is impossible. The world's view that sex isn't supposed to be shameful is actually a twisted truth. God made it for marriage. Marriage is sacred and there is a covenant made between two people. I once read that any sex outside of marriage is unprotected because God is not at the center of it. How true this is. God is taking me on a journey right now to discover his heart for sex, love, marriage, friendship, and how ALL four of those things actually go together. I love what he is showing me. This topic is something I want to have as much wisdom in as possible...and I even would love to teach on it someday.
