Okay...I admit it. I've been watching "The Bachelor" on TV. But this past episode both saddened and disgusted me. There are three ladies left. He invited each lady on three separate nights, to spend the night with him. Unfortunately, each one did.
This saddens me because each woman was falling in love with this one man. Each willingly gave of herself to "be" with him, knowing she may not be chosen. It is sad because they all felt it was worth sacrificing a bit of themselves in order to be pleasing to this guy.
This episode disgusted me because this supposedly "nice and sweet" guy, ended up being a real jerk. He talked about how selfish he was falling in love with these three women. He failed to talk about how selfish he was using them sexually for his own pleasures. Such is the world.
People criticize the Bible because it tells us to abstain from sex until marriage. It's not because God doesn't want us to enjoy the physical union between a man and a women. It's because He knows that such an intimate act can only grow and flourish in a healthy manner when you wait to give yourself completely to your partner in a committed marital relationship. I would rather have God's blessing and fulfillment than the emptiness now two of those women will feel because they chose to give themselves to this flakey man.
God's ways are the best ways. I pray that these ladies may someday know how much God loves them; especially in the midst of their rejection.
