Soul Ties

Sexual intimacy ties the soul of one person to another. I decided to stick my foot where the boundary of kissing is. I had a debate with a sixteen years old today, who have lived the life and experienced everything one can with another individual. She asked me how I felt about kissing and I told her that I didn’t think any man should kiss me unless he was my husband. You know I’m not talking about a peck on the cheek used for greetings. I am saving myself for the man I will someday marry because I want to give it to him as a gift. If sex is the act of soul tying, then I would say that kissing is the doorway to that soul tying. Why would I allow someone who I have no intentions of being bound together with, come through my door? Even if I did have the intention, he isn’t my husband until the day I marry him. Yes, even though I am months into the engagement period with him, he still isn’t my husband yet. Doesn’t kissing incite the desire to go further with the person? Being around the person whom I like is already stirring emotions that I can’t control. I don’t even have the notion to want to push it away. What would happen to me if I allow someone to kiss me? I definitely do not want to awaken something inside of me that will freely run like the doe and gazelles in the fields (check out songs of Solomon ya’ll). Call it self-preservation and protection if you will, but I truly don’t want the sickness of heart when my hope has been deferred (prov. 13:12). Just because our society sees it as a trivial matter, doesn’t mean that God has change his mind on the matter. People changes the price tag of purity with the time, but God's price tag never changes.

Some people may laugh at me and disagree with me, but I will make my husband feel blessed beyond measures by giving him my untouched lips. I will forgive his past experiences the same way God forgives his sin through Christ. We will run through the fields together and awaken passions instilled in us by God together. We will run the course like the free doe and gazelles in the field when we tie our souls together. In doing so, he will know the magnanimity of God’s sovereign love and grace for him. Cause you know what? It wasn’t about me to begin with. hahahha
