I was scrolling and looking around Tumblr when I came across this picture that was meant to be reblogged when you can relate with it. I just have a little favor for some guys about this..
Yes it is indeed sweet but my favor is.. don't do this when you are not totally ready for commitment and most especially don't do this before marriage. Well of course, except for the listening, supporting, standing up for her, the i love you part, be kind, never let her down and remembering small details. I was saying about the physical things. I believe it is really important for people to value purity. It is not only pleasing to God but it is for our own good as well :)
Trusting in God's perfect time might be difficult because of the overwhelming influences and sex-saturated culture of this present generation. But remember we are called to be DIFFERENT! Yes it might sound weird but we are called to be different and to do what is pleasing to the eyes of God. Yes, I think the content of this picture is sweet but in my opinion, it is sweeter when a guy will patiently and faithfully wait for the right time to do all of these things, most appropriately inside of marriage since it is what God really desires for all of us.
The best relationship are between two people who care more about each other's good than their own momentary pleasure. I need to wait on romance until I can match our pursuit of intimacy with a pursuit of commitment. Waiting until I'm ready for commitment before pursuing romance is just one example of letting Christ's love control my relationships with the opposite sex The joy of intimacy is the reward of commitment.
- Joshua Harris (I Kissed Dating Goodbye)True love is not selfish, it is selfless. True love is not impatient, it is patient. The Bible says what true love is ;)
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
Believe me, it is the sweetest thing to wait for a girl until God's perfect time comes. It doesn't need to be rushed, it waits.
True love waits :)
