Live for the Spirit
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.”- Galatians 5:16
I’ve been reading a series of books which has a romance in it. The girl and guy seem to be hitting it off. But she also is interested in another guy, even though the first guy says he loves her and she thinks she loves him.
The problems begin when she starts fantasizing about Second Guy. Eventually, she is unfaithful to First Guy with Second Guy and doesn’t seem to regret it.
No doubt, she was living to gratify the desires of her sinful nature so she got what she wanted, but how can it turn out well? If this were true in real life, I wonder how much of her relationship with First Guy who loved her would be affected if he found out what she had done. I had a friend who was promiscuous and when she finally met a guy who she wanted to marry, he had a problem with her background and broke it off.
I know some people might say he didn't love her enough. Whatever it was, he had his reasons and it kept them apart because she had not been willing to keep her relationship with her future husband pure.
I’m not reading the books in the series any further to find out what happens to Girl and First Guy. I’m too disgusted to delve into her personal life any more. If she couldn’t be faithful to him now before they’re married, who’s to say she will be after they are married? I'm not even a guy, but I see the distrust that could build up in a marriage. Of course, I mean this for both sides -- men and women should be loyal and faithful to each other.
Something to think about in your own lives. Be faithful. Look and live for the Spirit. You won't regret it.
Take care.
