We were all made to share the Love of God, I have known
personally since I was a kid that my life was made to be a vessel of love. I
try to share God’s love with anyone he tells me to share it with. Which Is why
I am writing this message, something important that has been brought to my
attention lately is people’s perception on what is considered romance and what
is considered simple displays of love.
Growing up I have always known that it was okay to hug
people we wish to show our love to, not as romantic but as a sign of a holy
love. Caring for individuals as human beings or caring for people that are
friends should be the same as treating them like family, like brothers and
sisters, both young and old.
When I comfort anyone, I will hug them, I will even give
them a kiss on the forehead or top of the head or even the cheek. Not as a sign
of romantic attachment or feelings, but as a symbol of kindness and pure
brotherly or sisterly love.
Now that does not mean I do not know what romance is or what
it means to be romantic. Being romantic in a pure way, means showing affection
with one special person, someone you intend to one day marry or someone you are
married to or about to marry; However I’ve learned a lot about many who believe
it is okay to share romantic gestures with everyone, by romantic gestures I
mean kissing, a romantic embrace and making love.
I have no judgments for those who do these things, just
stating that God does not see this as a pure form of love.
God created sex as a beautiful activity to be shared between
married couples; The reason why is when your married, sex becomes the most
intimate form of love. Uniting mind body and spirit with your spouse; it is
more pleasing and pure because it becomes more satisfying and becoming that
close with your spouse makes your relationship that much more amazing.
The reason why sex outside of marriage is not the best is
because although it may be gratifying, the connection is not as strong. You are
not uniting mind body and spirit. You simply satisfy an itch and remove the
love that was meant to be with it. Ultimately making sex unimportant to you.
This message is not to discourage anyone or to put down
individuals, it is intended to let everyone know that, Love can be shared in
many ways but only someone of a pure heart can share the Love of God the way
God intended. No man or woman on earth can change another person’s heart
either. It is up to each individual to go to God for the change.
I was raised to be truthful with my words and my feelings
and thoughts, never shroud them with false beliefs or coats of sugar. I had the
opportunity to learn that when you care for someone that is a friend or a
stranger, to treat him or her as God says; to treat each young lady or young
man as a little brother, and to treat those older than me as a mother or
father. And for those the same age to treat them, as I would expect myself to
be treated.
For the one that I will one day marry I will treat her as my
equal, with respect and with love. No formalities, no pointless gestures just
pure unfiltered Love.
Never water down Love, God made it perfect the way it is, no
need to complicate it. For God is Love and there is nothing complicated about
that.
