Most Important Possession

What would you say is your most important possession? Could you live without your MP3 player? How about your game console? I know from experience that the most important things and possessions in life are not things. They are not the stupid little objects that you spend money on. They are those things that are connected to your self and your emotions. The most important possession you have after your sense of self is your body. From what I see in our youth today, I am appalled at how easily some of them can just give up their bodies so easily.

I see a lot of pregnacies in the school that I work and it makes me sad. I am sad because of the babies of course but I also am sad that a girl that young would think so little of their own body. They just let themselves be taken in by a boy's advances. Or worse yet, they themselves advance on a boy for a short paltry time of sensation without emotional enhancement. That is what is most upsetting.

That is what kids are not taught. This is what they are lacking. They don't know or have not been told that if they wait, just a while longer, just until they are sure, their "first" will be probably the most gratifying most moving experiences of their life. And the reason why is that it should take a lot of spiritual and emotional time and effort to come to that most important of decisions. It means that their body is worth waiting for when they are in love. Not just puppy love of teenager years. Not just love of getting the man or woman in bed for a conquest of meaningless, but true, deep, emotional love - the love of wanting to get married love.

Don't give up your bodies just for the moment. Don't give away that which is the most important gift you can give your love of a lifetime. You would be giving away knowledge and an insight that no one but your husband or wife has the right to have. It is not just something that your partner deserves after going out for a month or after he has given you a bracelet. It is not payment for an object. No one deseves it just because they have "put the time in." It is a gift from your heart and it is a covenant that you decide to make. You are the only one that can decide, and you must decide well.

It is also a gift to you too. You are giving yourself the gift of emotionally enhancing your happiness. When you have found that one person who you know you will spend the rest of your life with, it is a very personal and emotional decision. It is also the time where you have decided to give your heart, your soul, and your life to being with that person. That is when you are finally to the point where the physical meets the emotional. The body meets the spirit. There are no words to explain. There are no experiences to compare. Even for those of you think that you have, I can not convince you otherwise, but you still have missed it. Trust me.

Don't give up your most prized possession to just anyone. It is yours and only yours to give. That is truly a rare and unique thing. It is one of those gifts only you can give and it is priceless. Just wait. You will know when that time comes. You will look back and think it was the right thing to do.
