True Love Waits..We've all seen the purity rings that say "True Love Waits"...in fact, I have one myself, these rings represent a vow that was made to stay sexually pure before marriage. ( I believe everyone should make this vow). When I made the vow to be abstinent till marriage, I also made the vow not to date until I was mature enough, and knew who I was in Christ first. Of course it hasn't at all been easy not dating, there has definitely been times I've felt left out cause I didn't have a boyfriend, and all my friends did. But what I learned, is that I've found more satisfaction through Christ then I would any guy, and I learned that, If God can't make me 100% satisfied, then what made me think a guy could? No guy could ever compare to what I've found in Jesus, His love is so much more amazing, real, and free then any love a guy could give me. Because of my decision to not date, I've totally devoted all the time, attention, and pursuing I would into a guy into Christ, and what I found was that, Christ is my first love! and He always will be!! This may sound funny, but now, I absolutely LOVE being single, I can pursue God and have all my attention devoted completly to Him, without any distractions =) In doing so, I've found out who He says I am, and I've learned what He's called me to do.
Although, Please don't mistake me, I of course still want to get married, and all haha. I've learned that there is beauty in 2 things specifically, obedience and patience, patience is the key. The phrase "True love waits" is so lightly taken, the word "waits" can also be translated as "patience" or "patient", So, when we are patient, and obedient, resting in God's peace, our true love will come, but first, you have to make Jesus your first true love, cause He is =)
