ReplyDeletehey i really liked today's message. i always knew sex b4 marriage wasn't Gods plan but i never got why besides health reasons until today when u were saying how u become one. i really liked how u said that sex was more than just physical and i liked your time line it really help me realize why sex effects you life 4ever. i have a question though since sex was meant for marriage why do ppl get sexually abused? and will the ppl who were abused have the same great sex as a person who wasn't abused? another thing is well i have this friend who is sexually active and we are only school friends but , i still care about her bunches. so of course i have tried to talk her out of it many times she just doesn't seem to think that bad things will happen to her or something . she is a really great person besides the fact that she does those things and she thinks that since she uses protection she will be fine but i know she wont always and i try to tell her that . but her mind is set thinking that she is fine and that there is nothing wrong with having sex now . i have said to her everything i could think of and she just doesn't get it. i really want to be friends with her but i don't want her to influence me thanx :]
ReplyDeleteI'm glad last weeks message helped you understand God's view of sex. You asked some great questions, first of all I think it is great to have friends who don't believe or live the same as you do, definitely keep being a good friend to her and be there for her, and keep being a good influence in her life when it comes to making wise choices for your own life. I can tell you care about her a lot, and that is so great! God can use you in her life, maybe she wont listen to what you have to say, but your actions will speak so much louder. Since God gives people the freedom to make their own choices, there lies the possibility that they will use that freedom to do things that will hurt themselves or hurt others. With your question about sexual abuse, unfortunately that is a result of selfish cruel people hurting others, and is just as heartbreaking to God as it is to the person who is abused. God sees the victim of abuse as perfectly pure in his eyes, since that decision was made by someone else and was forced on them. It is important for victims of sexual abuse to make sure that they talk to someone like a counselor, parent or someone they trust who can help them heal and walk through the emotional effects that it can have on a their life. Most often someone who has been abused can go on to have just as healthy and satisfying marriage and sex life as someone who has not been abused. It's important to remember that God never wastes a hurt. He can use every painful experience to bring good out of it, and He's there with us no matter what.
