A New Year, A New YOU

relationships, singles

The month of January is all about setting New Year’s resolution for a new year. Many favorite ones have to do with dieting, eating healthier, exercising, etc. As people make their goal to get their body in shape, there is one thing that all single adults need to add to this list – Be Celibate!

I know, I know, celibacy is not a very popular word in the singles world. But if you really want to get fit in 2010, you must add celibacy to your life. There is nothing like a new year with a fresh start. Now is the time to start fresh with purity back into your life!

Why celibacy you ask? Well, as everyone knows, being celibate will keep you from the obvious-unwanted pregnancy, STD’s, AIDS, heartaches, emotional issues, and even soul ties. But did you also know that committing to celibacy will take your spirituality to the next level with God? When you honor your body to God, He will bring honor to you!

1 Corinthians 6:19 – Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.

When you remain celibate, your body is Holy to God. But if you give yourself away in fornication (having sex outside of marriage), you will be sinning in God’s eyes. This type of behavior is not pleasing to God. But more than that, the guilt, shame and consequences that come with fornication is hazardous to your body, soul and spirit.

Can God forgive you if you have committed fornication? Absolutely! But you must also repent (turn away from this sin) and ask God for forgiveness. Then you can start all over again – a fresh start!

Are you ready to take it up a notch with God this year? Why wait any longer? Make that New Year’s resolution of being celibate for the year 2010. Trust me, it will be worth it! God will make it worth it to you and that’s a promise you can count on! Try it – commit to celibacy, seek God and you will connect with him on a whole new level. He will show you how to live a life of purity that will be pleasing to Him!
