Pure

My new tattoo… “pure”, because that’s what my name means. But this week the World Racers were challenged to take our blogs deeper. Let’s go deeper… (that was your warning)

I took mental health in place of sex education on purpose when I was in high school. Yet, my senior year I gave an informative/persuasive speech on premarital sex. After that speech the thought came to me that I had said “sex” more times in that speech than I probably had in my entire life. And that was most likely the time when God started to convict my heart and show me the desire of His.

The Lord has given me a passion for all those effected by man’s (and by man I mean all human kind, no need to man-bash) sinful corruption to the beautiful gift of sex He’s given to married couples. Laying it all out there this is what He’s placed on my heart:

HIV/AIDS – because after seeing devastation in Africa then knowing the spread in America makes me want educate and heal the world.

Human Sex Trafficking – because America is in the top five countries involved in the “industry” and no one (especially 4-12 year olds) should be owned by anyone else for any reason.

Pornography – because it makes more money annually in this country than all professional sports combined and there are more adult stores than McDonald’s.

Rape/Molestation – because it can take lives off track and create deep wounds in the heart.

Underage Sex – because seeing young teens buy condoms sickened me to think that they weren’t buying them as a visual aid for health class.

Premarital Sex – because couples who’ve had sex together before marriage are more likely to divorce and abstinence is proven successful.

Abortion – because that child is a life.

Prostitution – because they did not choose that path during career day.

Pedophiles – because they are human too that need prayer and help.

I’m learning more as my heart grows and is being broken for those effected. There are stats I haven’t read yet and more verses from the Bible that I’ve yet to discover. Deep inside of me the motivation for the tattoo and this passion is to know Him more. He is Truth and He is Love. I am convinced that His Truth does not say this perversion of sex is Love. I am convinced that God desires purity in our lives. I am convinced education, action, and PRAYER can make an impact.
