Being more of a grownup now, I feel that I have way more privileges than I did before. With this time that's been given to me, I realize that time is too short and that life follows consequently in that path. To be able to make a spiritual connection with Jesus, it's been a very long and tough journey. It's been hard to be patient and to test some Biblical principles; it sometimes may feel like you are locked up in a religion rather than have this liberating life. The Son of God and Holy Spirit should not really come to surprise to anyone. I am sure that we have gone through some really good times that we wanted to last and were very peaceful. These things are a reminder of what is yet to come in heaven. True faith is also not meant to be blasphemous, but based on reality.
I have heard that God works a different time frame because God alone is the ruler of the universe. It sometimes gets me thinking that life's situations are things that we would like to blame on something other than ourselves. If Jesus already paid the ultimate sacrifice by being the sacrificial lamb on the cross that pours blood for all our life's sins, then why must we be still human? Heaven is marked with pure joy and happiness and even is implausible to many unbelievers. God does not force upon us the Holy Spirit, even though it can be evident at certain time periods. To be able to see it takes one to open up his or her heart to the possibility of a loving Father in heaven. This does not mean that Christians always have this arrogance about them and deal with difficult hardships without any fault. We're all human and Christians have this liberation in their souls. To be joyful, accepted by the Creator, loved and forgiven by Him, our souls have a void filled in the heavenly realms.
Briefly, I will confess a sin and give my human reasons why I should away stay from it. Apart from knowing that if one willingly repents of his sins and confesses it before the Lord, 1 John 1:9 shows us that Jesus washes away our sins and gives us a new life without constantly dwelling in a guilty conscience and to have the heart protected. I have been struggling to be patient with sexual satisfaction. To be married means to me, being an undefiled sexual partner with a lovely wife. Despite the fears and curiosity of losing my virginity, sex is ordained by God to Man as recreation, but to only be practiced in a godly marriage. To have that longing intimacy and commitment and trust in each other, is something that is not going to be found in one night stands or short-term sexual encounters. What I'm starting to realize is that a man can work up to a heightened sexual experience with his loving wife and never want to give up the attraction to an idol, such as porn, media, or other individuals. Abstaining from fornication is making a pledge to hold love in marriage with high enthusiasm! The time could definitely be right during the honeymoon.
