Lets talk about sex!

Yep. that's right, sex.  I have made a few decisions lately.  You might agree or not, but here they are.

When a relationship is started and based around sex, it is easy.  It is simple.  For someone to be accepted on just the physical there is not much risk.  Sex can be pleasurable.  It brings you together without having to be "bare" emotionally.  It is false intimacy.  It is a fraud, a  cheap plastic replica of something that is suppose to be beautiful and costly.

If sex is had in the way that God designed it, you have been bare emotionally first.  You have opened yourself up to another person, all the pretty and the ugly.  You have laid your life down for the other person in an act of selflessness and paid a dear price to be able to engage on the physical.  Even when people haven't laid themselves bare emotionally but have paid the price (by getting married) there is a deeper  satisfaction a deeper exchange that happens between lovers.  It is something that cannot be explained in mere words until you experience it.

Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her... a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[e] 32 This is a great mystery....   let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself.

The bible speaks about a man "knowing" a woman.  The act of sex opens up your spirit and gives a glimpse into your soul through the joining of your body.  This is not something you should do with just anyone...  I personally do not want my spirit being joined with any man that hasn't laid down his life, committed himself to me in every way, and is willing to die for me.

Sex also blurs the lines.  Because your spirit is bare and open when you join yourself with another, it plays tricks on your mind and spirit.  It makes you believe you are in love, it makes you believe you are "committed".  But what you have is just rubble.  It is empty. Like a beautiful apple, all shiny and red.  You bite into it only to discover it is rotten and brown on the inside.  It is shallow and a fraud...

Joel 2:25
The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.

Thank God He can restore us and make us whole, and only He can return the lost and stolen pieces and make them beautiful and new.  I am tired of cheap frauds.  I want to live a life that is based on truth and beauty, the beauty that God has for me, His way is always good and even better than I could ever imagine.

Muddled thoughts from my mushy brain...
