She gets it.

A fifteen your old girl, truly in love with her boyfriend of over a year, gives up something that should have been saved but she did not know better-- she had not been following Christ at this time and other than "mom probably wouldn't be happy" she found no reason to say no.

A seventeen year old young woman finds herself with a different boyfriend, this time of over three years. They were voted class couple, had taken vacations together, rarely ever fought and were making plans to get married after college. It only seemed obvious that they would give themselves to each other.

A nineteen year old just starting her second year of college finds herself struggling with the freedom of being single. She is running wild and doing what she wants when she wants because she wants.

A twenty year old, enlightened, saved, thankful woman finds herself struggling with doing what she knows is right. She has been touched by God's grace and become devoted to Him and His son Jesus. His word clearly tells her that she should not be giving her body away until marriage. She just can't seem to comprehend and wants to know "Why?" and "What if it feels right?" and "But how far can I go?"

She sits here after an extremely powerful message at SPCC and she gets it. She understands why not only it is right, but it is wise to save herself. She can't take back her past, but she can move forward. She may have been struggling with repeated sin in this area, but it is not an unforgivable one. God created this woman to be something so much more than she even imagines. Not to become distracted by sex and by men who just lust after her. Not to give into temptation from the evil one and lose her faith momentarily after doing so.

She gets it. There is a man out there who she will someday meet, and they will delight in each other. He will be fine with her telling him, "Hugging, kissing and holding hands, long walks and deep talks.. that is just right for us right now."

She gets it.
