Why is it that we take so much interest in things we should probably stay away from but we loose interest in what is healthy and pleasant in nature. I know that some of you are probably saying that this isn't you but I can assure you that this has happened to you at some point in time.
Think back to when you were a kid. Did you always want to eat your vegetables? If you were given a choice between burgers and fries or a salad as a child, which do you think you chose? I haven't met too many children that are huge fans of vegetables and medicine; the two things that are supposed to be helpful in nature.
It is my belief that we carry this behavior with us into adult hood. If someone tells me that they have some new health drink that they would like for me to try I am going to automatically assume that it taste disgusting!!!! Where did I get that from? Why is it that I would assume that right off the back?
This is even the same with behavior. Doing the right thing now a days can easily get you a bad wrap!!. I was known as "Ms. Goody 2 Shoes" in my earlier years of high school all because I chose to do what I thought was right. I didn't drink, smoke or do drugs. I wasn't sexually active and I tried my best to stay away from the "wrong crowd." I constantly faced peer pressure at parties. I couldn't understand why someone would even ask me why I preferred not to do any of these things. Was there something wrong with me? Was being bad the new good and I was the bad one?
I see this behavior so much in my everyday life.
I have been proposed to at least 5 or 6 times in my life yet I never t wanted nor could I see myself marrying any of these men. Maybe I just wasn't ready, who knows? I am now at a point where I want to settle yet I allowed myself to stay involved in a relationship with someone who wasn't. Why did I do that?
I had plenty of opportunities with relationships that were the exact makeup of what every girl dreams of yet I didn't want the source in which it came from.
Women do this all the time. They dog out the men that follow them around like puppy dogs meanwhile chasing after the men that dog them. The same goes for men. A man will end up dating a woman that initially threw herself at him without even knowing the first thing about him. Each "easy" characteristic about this woman attracts this man. We see a challenge and instantly something in our brain switches on. We are competitive creatures and we love a chase. The excitement from the chase gives us some type of rush that just feels great, doesn't it????
But what happens after all the chasing has come to an end and you have your prize? You are able to do whatever you so please with your reward? You're bored!!! LOL. Why are you bored now? Where is the fun in that?? Now you're thinking about all you went through in order to win this prize and you may even get mad about it, LOL!! All that and for what? You got what you wanted you should be happy. Why do we do this? We do this because Sin is fun!! Has anyone ever told you that? If it wasn't the whole world would be saved already and this life as we know it would be over. There is something so awesome about doing what you were told not to do.
Candy, alcohol, fatty foods and sex just seems to make people feel like they are in heaven. All of which can hurt you yet it is hard to go without once you've gotten a taste of it.
Abstinence before marriage for example. Now why would any adult in their right mind not enjoy sex? Yea so what you can get pregnant when you're not trying to! So what you can catch an STD that could possibly kill you! So what!!!
I enjoy good sex just as much as the next person, heck, maybe even more than the next but I refuse to allow it to control me. I have recently decided to practice abstinence and I am already having a rough time. I think about it everyday. I consider myself to be an attractive woman & I am aware that it would be pretty easy for me to get someone to have sex with me at any given time, this I know.
To be completely honest with you I actually view the need for sex as a weakness of mine. This new way of living will be a struggle in itself.
I am now learning to Love and Want what is best for me as apposed to what just feels good to me. PRAY FOR ME!!
