Chasity among the youth
I woke up this morning and I found out that sexual sin is really exists and some people that I knew (which I thought "innocent people") got tempted. This things actually happened a long time ago thing but I just found out today. It's kinda hard to belive though. How old were those people? Guess! Some of them were 15!!!! How young!!!! ( They're around 17 right now) oh... how sad! Some are in late high school years (which like 16 or 17 I believe) and some are around 21.
I mean I know that partucular sin is there, but I've never thought that it would tempt the people that I know. You might ask, "How do you know, Gabriella?" They got pregnant! Oh... c'mon! They were so young!!!! Why did they spend time on dating????!!!!??? What didn't they just focus on school and their dreams??? Didn't they have any dream?
C'mon teenagers and young adults! We are young! Let's have great dreams and serve the Lord with our wholeheart!!! Help others! Work! Study! Join the peace corps! Go to mission trips!There's a lot of fun things out there beside dating! Trust me!
So for today. I really pray for rebirth of chasity especially among the youth.. and for those who are "pure", I pray that God will keep the pure people pure. You know what I mean?
For those who haven't read When God Writes Your Love Story (Eric and Leslie Ludy) and I Kissed Dating Goodbye (Joshua Harris), I really suggest you to read that book, either you're single or you're in a relationship. Passion and Purity seems to be a good book too. (I've read them all but Passion and Purity. I'm planning to read it sometime this summer)
How to help yourself? One of the things to help yourself is to pray. (If you're a Catholic you could say 3 hail marys each day for purity of mind, heart, and body... ask Mother Mary, St. Joseph, or St. Maria Goretti to intercede for you)
So... good luck everyone!
Ooops.. one more thing: You might don't know who your future spouse is right now.... if you love him/her already (since you trust God's best), you could start to PRAY for them. You can't be too young to start to prepare for your future!!!!
What a world!!!! Pray pray pray!!!!! This world need people who pray and love God!
Guys, it's almost Easter, do something good. Pray for others, ok!
