purity

Lately i have been thinking about purity. Why is it that people view purity as a curse? Why do people feel the need to defile themselves? i don't get it. i want to be pure for my bride, and Christ makes me pure. If you chase after impurity, does that mean that you are giving Christ second place in your life? Can God be active and working in your life if its wrought with impurity and lust? Personally i don't think so. It is a curse that consumes you and rages in all of the members of your body. It will envelop your mind and become an idol. When i watch TV i usually get disgusted and turn it off. Anymore it seems like immorality and being promiscuous is acceptable, why is this? To be honest its disgusting. 
proverbs 2:16-19 Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman, 
   from the wayward woman with her seductive words, 
     who has left the partner of her youth 
   and ignored the covenant she made before God.
     Surely her house leads down to death 
   and her paths to the spirits of the dead. 
     None who go to her return 
   or attain the paths of life.

Why doe we want to do these things? Why is our generation so hell-bent on its own destruction and damnation? We search for love in the wrong places and we long for a love that will never fulfill us; and we strive to attain it, giving up anything that is hindering us from attaining the love of another person.........yet when the love we need and hope for is free.....it always has been.

We are so blind....and we are blind because we chose to be. We close our own eyes.

We ignore the depravity around us because its convenient. Chose to be pure and holy, choose to share the love you have and save somebody. Show a hurting person the love that will always satisfy. Be the light and salt of the world and fulfill your calling to be a fisher of men.
