Wow - I love what you said about giving your heart away - it is so true!!

I wish I had that purity back - but it can disappear like that, if you're not too careful. I can't say that I've never dated but I did treasure my virginity. At the age of 17 I had my virginity stolen from me - a gift I treasured and wanted so much to give to my husband. Keep hold of it girls, because it is a beautiful thing from God!! :star:

Hey Inrobar,
I'm new here but I stumbled on your post...way to go! I'm nineteen and graduated from a school in very rural Montana this spring. I was homeschooled until highschool and was very suprised and shocked to see the boyfriend/girlfriend thing happening even in elementary grades. It is so true about the piece of a girl's heart that gets ripped when break ups happen. Hormones are going wild, boys at that age are generally only programmed for the use of the relationship, and there is just way too little maturity for that kind of relationship to be taking place. In my opinion, just like abortion has totally massacured any value of life, so does the young dating scheme massacure any value in such a relationship. God mean it to be such a precious gift and mankind has made it into a sick game that nauseated me. So...long way of saying I agree totally and am in the same boat of trying to stick to purity in a very unpure society. Doesnt' it just stink
your sister in Christ,
Gwendolyn

 

[thankful]

It is awesome to know that I have some kind of effect on someone. You know, I have so much pressure on me to go out and look for just anyone. And it's not from the people you would think like my friends. It's from my mother. She's always saying "Brandie, you better hurry up and get married so I can have grandchildren." and it just makes me sick to hear that. Because that is not what a marriage is supposed to be about. If the only thing you are looking forward to when you get married is in the "romantic" area, then you need to rethink this decision. It's about so much more. To me it's a way to get closer to God. To have someone there to guide you spiritually, someone to help, someone to be loved by, and someone to show God's love to. It's an amazing thing, and a huge decision. Thats why God chooses the person for you because there are sooo many things to consider. And you know I tell my mom that all the time, and she just doesnt get it. She will find any random guy, give them my number, and a picture of me, and try to (in her words) "Marry me off". and it's just not gonna work that way. Yea sometimes I get frusturated with her, but I have to show her the true way of things before anything. She is not saved ( I am working on this) so she does not understand, and I do not want to cause any confusion for her.

So really, the way I see it, no matter who is pressuring you, just remember your priority. What is first? Worldly love or Godly love?

God Bless

Godly love of course!!

I think that purity is a precious gift, and a very special thing.
Honestly, lately i've been thinking about this a lot. I've been really confused about what I want, about the kind of love that I want in my life,
and i feel like every single day God's telling me that I should keep myself for that special person, including this thread...
And It's great!, I'm full of joy by knowing that I wanna wait, and keep my heart, my body, and everything of me until my wedding day. I wish my friends from college, (not saved yet T.T) could see this... and could understand how great is waiting in God until the right person comes into your life to bless you...


Blessings!
I'll be praying for you mom!... I hope she gets to understand why you feel like you do... ^^

If I were young and single, I would not avoid dating. In doing so, you might be missing the portal through which God wants your future spouse to come
Be careful who you date, however, and always have a plan B in place for when you need to escape any immoral advances he might make.:icon_idea:

[smilly]

Inrobar, how right that is .a heart torn one time too many never mends to perfection, Its has holes called reservation and basements called sensitivity,fear and mistrust.
Love is surpposed to be innocent and naive,if anyone disagrees then S/he still dont know love.

I do not believe I have anything to worry about. I have never dated anyone in my life, nor will I for now. I am not into the whole dating thing. The thought of going on a date scares me.

But even if you have many holes, and inperfections in your heart, God will mend it to 100 % perfection. It may have a few bruises, but the scars will be removed with a little faith.

It is true, Love is supposed to be innocent and nieve, but it's not all it's supposed to be.

Hi Inrobar,
dont allow yourself to be rushed,take your time and all will work out.
For now concentrate on what is before you. You are a high school
student, aren't you ?,then better stick to that now, delight yourself in the lord and he shall grant you the desires of your heart.
Take care gal.

[Jesus's always]

I know how you feel. And it's not like there is no temptation. There is, lots of it. Esp. pressure from peers. But I know what I have set my heart to. Jesus. There is nothing more important than him. Besides, what you focus on really matters. Focus on God and I know he has something awesome in stock for you.

 

[SmileBig]

trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on Your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths (proverbs 3:5-6).

Inrobar, this is the key.. trust in the Lord and acknowledge Him and He will direct you .

Everyone has advice for everyone but the best one to direct you is our Lord \O/

God bless

Biggie

Prays !

Iinronbar, Chad, and all my others brogthres.
When i look how you tacke care about your spirtual lifes i become to prays the Lord, because do really exist man and woman that really wants to serve the Lord.
But in brazil people are guide by the flash and i worried about that.
My country is knowed to be the country of Carnaval, thats a party of the flash, just like that to city God had to destroy.
Than I ask all of you to pray about my country, to protect god's people, and to that kind of of way of living not come in to our church, because sometimes the people that are in His presence act exactly as the other that have not found Jesus yet.
It makes me sad, because we were called do to the difference.
We have to make diferrene.
And we will gona do in the name of Jesus.
Pray for it,
Please.
Look at it as it were your on need.
God will bless you also, in the name of Jesus.
Be blessed in all.

I feel the same way Inrobar about keeping pure and staying that way for your husband til the marriage day. I've never dated and I'm 16. Although really never had anyone ask me but still I've made a sort of unspoken pledge to stay pure to myself but mostly to my dear Savior. It might help that I'm homeschooled but still it's not always easy as you know! Also most of my friends around me feel the same way so that helps some...well at least the girls that I'm closest to.
May the Lord continue blessing you and giving strength to fight the good fight of faith!

Honestly, people are guided by their flesh anywhere you go in this world. We as Christians have to take that stand and go against what the world tells us.
Serving such a gracious God helps me alot, and if not for Him helping me in this world, I would not be where I am today. Just remember that the people in your country more than likely aren't saved. They don't really know the Lord like you do, and that makes you have something they are wanting. All lost people are empty inside, and are searching for things to fill that emptiness. So, naturally they are going to turn to the quickest fix. Something the world offers. It may be drugs, alcohol, or another person.

Just continue to pray and intercede for them. YOU take the stand for them and plead to Jesus for them, and their sins.

God will see that you have a heart for these people, and He will listen to your prayers.

God Bless you brother, and keep praying.

Hi Inrobar,

I totally understand your situation of keeping yourself pure and faithfully waiting on God to bring that special person in your life, after all - There is a time fo everything (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). It is an expression of true love towards your future husband, which in a sense will signify to him that you loved him even before you met him. If my future husband will have thought of me in this way even before he meets me, I admit it would be the single (apart from being a mighty man of God) most romantic and loving thing he would do for me.

Although it wouldn't make me love him any less, if he did otherwise, because love covers over all sins.




Godbless, and may you meet that special person in God's good and perfect time.

Inrobar hasn't posted on this thread since January, so she may not be watching it any more.

I would only add this: Don't expect your prince to look like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. Your prince may have a bit of a paunch, a receding hairline, and flat feet. I doubt that Jesus, when He walked this earth, ever looked like the Hollywood icons who've tried to portray Him (at least before James Cavielo came along in The Passion of the Christ).

Hi SpiritLedEd,

Well I'm not shallow! and I'm not looking for Mr Hollywood :shade:, Just Mr Right (right with God that is). And since God knows my heart, I know that I have nothing to worry about because I trust him; & faith is what pleases God.

AndI know that when I please God, he will give me the desires of my heart.

Looks may please my eyes, but ultimately someone who genuinely seeks & serves God attracts my heart.

Godbless.
