I started today trying to understand sexual attraction. For you see, I’m fearful of sexual attraction… maybe fearful is the wrong word… I am distrustful. I don’t understand it. So I started trying to decipher it. Dissect it. I prayed for understanding, then I read 1 Corinthians 7:1-35. It discusses marriage and how husband and wife are supposed to interact. It says that it is better to be single, but if you cannot control yourself… then better to be married then to sin. I still don’t understand, so I moved onto the next place that came into my mind, Song of Songs. I read the entire book… a summation of love, married life (my interpretation), human sexuality, sexual attraction, interaction between couples and their friends, and more… So what is God’s lesson for me today? I think that some things are beyond my understanding. I don’t understand attraction. Does it have a logic? Is it the same as lust? All I know is this, Romance is a dangerous thing and it makes your walk with God harder. The burdens of married life are different from the burdens of single life, but each has it’s own set of issues that need to be dealt with. Don’t be jealous of a couple, they have problems just like you do. Just because there is two where there was once one does not mean that they are happy… that they are more fulfilled.
Lord, help me to realize that only you know what goes on in the hearts of (wo)men. To realize that each one of us needs help, needs guidance, needs forgiveness, needs love. Thank you for today. Each day brings with it blessings plain and disguised. Amen.
Song I’m feeling today:
98 Degrees Lyrics
“Why (Are We Still Friends)”
We do almost everything that lovers do
And that’s why it’s hard, just to be friends with you
Everytime your heart is broken by the fool
I want you to know that it hurts me too
It’s hard to wipe your tears away (tears away)
Knowing that you should be with me
Now tell me why
[CHORUS:]
Why – why are we still friends
When everything says,
We should be more than we are
And tell me why everytime I find
Someone that I like
We always end up just being friends (Just Being Friends)
I would hate for you to find somebody new
Who you really love, cause it would mean losing you
But am I a fool, girl, not to say
If I’m always scared I’ll lose you anyway
Somehow, somewhere I’ve got to choose (got to choose)
No matter, if it’s win or lose,
Now tell me why
[CHORUS]
I don’t wanna be like your brother
I don’t wanna be your best friend
I only wanna be your lover
When will this end
If I told you that I wanna be in your life
Then you could be the woman in mine
[CHORUS x2]
