Love, in my opinion, is definitely not something one takes lightly. To me, it means giving all of yourself in a relationship, sharing and keeping promises, and respecting one another for who the other is. It also means believing in each other through faith and hope. When one promises to save the gift of chastity until marriage, one is promising oneself to other person. It is understanding each other and realizing that despite the great attraction to one another, this special gift can wait until there is an absolute sealed commitment with God. To me, this relationship is so special. It involves much patience and trust, but most importantly, love. I have much respect for those individuals who chose this path of life.
In accordance with this teaching, people who chose this path of life must keep their faith and commitment to God, as well as their husband or wife. To keep these ideas and practices alive in their hearts, church attendance seems so necessary. In today’s society, it is so easy to lose sight of what of what is really important. Through traditional practices, taught through God’s spoken word, the Bible, it is easy to be enlightened and see the truth during these very confusing times. Everywhere we look, it seems, advertisement is using sex symbols or risky behavior to entice consumers into buying their products. In addition, we are so often reading in newspapers and watching television regarding the crimes and disasters that happen worldwide. Church gives us an opportunity to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and relax with God. It also gives us the opportunity for pray for those who are suffering, doing crimes, or falling into the false advertisements. Most importantly, however, it gives us a chance to be thankful for the many gifts in our life.
