I've deeply found conviction on how it would be like to be married. A small worry that I have is that as a kid I watched a lot of pornography. It was a sin that I don't think will ever be excusable if caught in the present with a spouse. I have heard of some couples consenting to pornographic material to try to spice up their sex life. In my opinion, it's wrong to financially advocate these porn stars because it encourages them to live a life that could be filled with emptiness and guilt. Sex is among the most intimate acts that is treasured with a committed spouse. It's in our genes to be monogamous lovers and a lot of times, I think a special relationship gone bad can stigmatize the individual's emotions. God wishes to protect individuals who struggle with lust:
"Marriage must be honored among all and the marriage bed kept undefiled, for God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers." (Hebrews 13:4)
I believe that when you factor in loving a pure woman for a wife, you want to really build her up and be solely devoted to her because you know that's how to make her life content. The influence where relying on porn like a drug to arouse oneself and use as a medium for sex is foolish. It's because pornography also promotes masturbation and ejaculation outside of the marriage box. This can make some lonely guys guilty and lack in confidence, which is in fact the most reported results of watching porn. I myself am finding that I want to keep pure for the reason of enjoying sex in marriage. Committing to having great sex with only the spouse reaps a great reward. We should be the judge of one night stands or relationships that don't seem to tie a knot.

Right Influences
Life in a nutshell for me feels like bonding with the right influences. Could the world be possibly be driven by powerful television ads that target emotionally driven teens and young adults? I'm personally starting to question the usage of my personal time off from a struggling sales environment. Of all aspects and of the least probability, I find myself associating with the principles of the Bible and as a believer of Jesus. This does not mean I have a religion of anything though. Religion to me is something a person subjects to authority other than a governing constitution, even if it be against his or her will. I personally find having a relationship with Jesus is not a religion because it's something I seek after out of my personal desires.
It's so much more powerful to exercise spiritual freedom out of having no human interference. A Muslim told me that he relied on a teacher to be able to connect to Allah. In contrast, the Bible states in 1 Timothy 2:5, "For there is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity- the man Christ Jesus." (NLT) Jesus stated in John 4:14 that "Whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst" (KJV). God came down to Earth in the form of man and sent his Son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus stated to the jealous religious leaders that he was the Savior of this world. I'm not quite sure how the Jehovah Witnesses have this idea that only 144,000 people are going to be saved. It implies a lot of laboring to find entrance in heaven, and obviously, being a prisoner to false teachings of the Bible. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that salvation comes from Jesus alone and that no man's works will convince God the person is holy.

Search For Controlled Direction
Life's temperaments fill us joys and sorrows.
Having a deeper sense of being creates a sense of belonging.
Words that form in the individual's heart to create a touched heart.
Subtle reminders that go unseen but can arise underneath the nose.
Questions continue to formulate in my childlike mind.
Getting to be polished and refined by trials of fire.
Taking control of time to fulfill the dreams of ourselves.
To be vaguely honest, suffering through lack of participating.
The source of life should be searched until grasped for its eternity.
Life has its positive moments, ups and downs, times of despair.
Pain that is unimaginable through some parts of the world.
A time and a place arises to be filled with God's love and show compassion.

Power of Freedom Decision Making
It is wonderful that everyone reaches an age of maturity where he or she becomes responsible for making big decisions. Being placed in this spot can be really exciting or possibly not that alarming for someone who possesses a lot of grit. I think the issue some people fail to address or meditate upon is their personal beliefs. I remember awhile back, someone told me that he was only living life for himself. It's really sort of a surprise that selfishness hasn't really generated happiness for him. God does love us so much that he inspired the greatest missionary Paul to give us this advise:
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (KJV, Philippians 4:8)
I see this post has a way of questioning life philosophically. It may seem like a waste of time to read, in that being caught in the moment, one would need to raise money or go do something he or she likes. I personally recall being locked up in the flesh and keeping to myself to the point of having no friends to comfort me. This may be strange to bring up, but I think the Holy Spirit of the Bible really has an effect even on unbelievers. Acts 1:8 states
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost [Holy Spirit] is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." (KJV)
The Holy Spirit in a nutshell gives all believers the power to love unbelievers. It may not seem like they love you, sometimes because everyone falls under the thread of sin. This doesn't mean that God's Words contradict a Christian's life. The Bible is a non-conforming, God-breathed book (2 Timothy 3:16, Romans 12:2) that inspires a noble and repenting life (Matthew 3:2).
