Loving my wife - now!
I'm 20 years old. My freinds all around me are falling in love, getting married, and all that goodness. I'm single, which is alright with me, but some demented part of me is envious of what my freinds have. I know that the season isn't right for me though, and that God is perfect in his timing and his plan is all that I want. That being said, it can be really difficult not only to remain sexually pure in mind and body, but to keep my emotions (my heart) from well.. running amok, shall we say. Then it hit me: Love God, and love your wife. Its not a hard leap to make. We love people even when they aren't around us, and even when we don't know what they want or are really like. So its pretty simple really- love not the idea of the wife, but infact behave lovingly towards that person who you don't even know who is yet. And that, for me, means honoring her by keeping myself pure, and by not giving out emotions to daydreams and passing ideas. Thats all I can do for now. But its really everything I should be doing. God help me.
