Here it comes again, 2nd month again… It’s time..

I admit that i sometimes, say words carelessly, without even thinking of the outcome from it.

I’m sorry.

SEXUAL PURITY.

markmuldez:

I’m no expert, but I wanna share ‘SOME’ of my thoughts. My goal is to challenge you and get you to thinking after reading this semi-short post. So.. Let’s talk about sexual purity yeah?

First, sexual purity is such a huge struggle for men & women. I don’t know exactly the statistics of it. But I know it’s a STRUGGLE. We live in a SEX-CRAZED culture. Everywhere you look, sex/mildporn is everywhere. In most churches in America, Pastors & leaders don’t really talk about this. It’s a topic that’s kinda just put on the side.

But SIN is SIN. And God takes SIN seriously. why? He sent His Son Jesus to Die on the Cross for OUR SINS! That’s how serious He is. And yet, we choose to feed our minds, & bodies to be slaved to these things.

Ladies, don’t let your emotions get in the way of your spiritual maturity, don’t let these boys use you and take advantage of you. Don’t throw yourself out there. How you catch them, is how you can Keep them. If you catch them by dressing seductively, then you keep these boys by continuosly dressing up that way. But if you catch them with your heart and love for God, then they’ll chase after you because of your heart for God.

You are a Daughter of a King, Princess of His Kingdom. Don’t you think you deserve more than just a temporary satisfaction?

Fellas, and I’m addressing myself too. Let’s stand up for our sisters. Let’s not be the cause for their stumble. It breaks my heart to see our sisters settle for Less because they can’t find a man of God! Let’s stop lusting, and being a dog. Instead Let’s man up, Let’s take up our cross daily, and let’s lead these sisters to Christ.

Lastly, God created sex. He purposely made that for our enjoyment, when it is done According to His will, inside the covenant of marriage. (Heb13:4)

Maybe you’ve done it before, I’ve got good news for you, our God is a God of second chances. Repent from that sin, and start living for Him. Or maybe you are still a virgin, Praise God for that, and fight the good fight! and wait for that right time where God unites you with your partner.

I don’t know exactly what that feels, but I have friends tell me, it’s the most amazing thing ever, Because it’s a gift not just from God, but giving yourself fully to someone is your gift to your spouses. and by that, you bring Glory to God!

Choosing the right “Significant Other” is like buying a shirt?!

markmuldez:

You’re probably like,

” What does he know about relationship? He’s only 20. He’s never been married, why should I listen to this kid?! picking a significant other is more than just buying a shirt okay?! c’mon!”

Before you judge me, I have to say that you are right. I don’t know everything that’s ALL about relationship, I’ve been in a relationship before, but not long enough to be considered as an expert and I will never be an expert. I’ve been single for about 5years now. But what I do have is my past experiences, godly friends who are married and Godly wisdom.

I’m writing this particular topic not to brag about my recently learned & discovered knowledge but to simply share and encourage. After all, my blog’s all about sharing any encouragement so why not? =) So yeah, whether you’re in a relationship or not. If you’re not married, This is for YOU.

“Significant Other” is like buying the right shirt/dress. Is it really that simple? or maybe complicated? If you’re a gal, you know how hard it is for you ladies to pick a dress, you ladies are just too picky. (NO offense) For as guys, we aren’t too picky. I mean, we could be sometimes, but for the most part we aren’t. When we see a shirt or jeans and we think it’s cool & fits our budget we buy it right away. Here’s a cool analogy:

I go to the mall, go straight to my favorite clothing store. I get there, I see this nice looking shirt! It has this cool design, it’s the right color, fits my budget. Then I thought, ” MAN! This is perfect!” But wait, they don’t have my size. I’m small, and this is medium. NOW WHAT?! I have 2 options:

1) I either buy this shirt, even though I know It’s not the right size, but it’s the right color, i like the design, and it fits my budget! I mean, This will do, this would work. it’s cheap anyways, I don’t mind spending OR…

2) I’ll Wait for the next shipment of those shirts with SMALL sizes and then buy them. I’ll wait.. Either the next shipment is in 2 days, 1 week, or 3 weeks. i’ll wait, coz I know it’s my right size and it would definitely fit me. That way, I’m not just waisting my time and money.

Do you kinda see where I’m going here? A lot of us get into different relationships. We settle for the weakest, selfish & lamest reasons. When we meet someone who’s a christian, someone who goes to church, goes to bible study, and then he/she is hot, we are then easily pleased and then we give it a go. But then after awhile, it leaves us unsatisfied and unfulfilled because we went on our own ways.

Just like the illustration I gave earlier, choosing the right person to date and to marry is like picking the right shirt/dress. You can find the right color, design, and price, but it’s NOT THE RIGHT SIZE , like there’s somethings missing and yet we settle for the wrong size, just because we are so anxious to wear, and we think that’s gonna work, thinking we can fit into. Instead, we need to find the right color, right size, right design and meets our price. Why settle for someone with a “Generic trait” the typical “christian - church/bible study goer”? Look at their lives, are they the same inside and outside the church? Are they walking with God genuinely and passionately? Do you see their lives glimmer because of Christ? Do you see them bearing much fruits? Is that person an Outstanding Man/Woman of God? Ask those questions. Why would you settle for less, If God can give you the Best? Don’t settle for the wrong size, because it’s really not gonna fit you no matter how much you try to work it out, wait for God’s chosen person, wait for that right size. So you don’t have to waste your time & effort.

SO WHAT IF YOU FOUND THE RIGHT SHIRT AND SIZE, NOW WHAT? Ever had that experience where you bought a certain shirt/dress and it’s your favorite? you wear it all the time, and you take good care of it, because that’s you’re favorite. You’re confident  and comftable when you are wearing it. It means so much to you, it’s more than just another piece of clothing that covers your skin. Same thing with that person, when you meet and find that person, it’s different. That person means so much to you, and you just wanna take care of them and keep them FOREVER.

Bottom line is, Don’t rush into buying. Don’t rush into dating or pursuing someone. Patience is the Key to finding God’s best. He will reveal that person at the right time. Ultimately pursuing Him first is our main priority, (Matthew6:33) If we don’t know how to Love God genuinely and being content with Him, then how can we love that person God brings into our lives genuinely, & passionately? We are His children, He knows our desires and He knows we all deserve the BEST.

Thanks for reading :)

In Christ,
