Sex is everywhere we turn, today. Before the end of the day you’ll have either run into Beyonce gyrating in a leotard, Lady Ga Ga pouncing in her panties, David Beckham posing in his bikini, or some other lesser known celebrity attempting to solicit you with their “irresistible” sexuality. But it is certainly nothing to be concerned about, because it’s all in the name of innocent entertainment and advertisement, if you are willing to believe that.
Despite the numerous excuses for our “in your face sexuality” type of society, at the end of the day it is simply an undeniable obsession with SEX. I’m going to go out on a limb and make a bold statement, “People really like sex!” Is there anything that people like more? If one were to observe the focal point of most entertainment, music, web searches, advertisements, conversations, text messages, etc., it would be hard to find anything else that people as a whole are more interested in. That is not to say that I think sex is people’s greatest interest. Well, maybe it is our greatest interest, but I’m certain it is not our greatest desire.
You see, though people are incredibly drawn to hot bodies and pretty faces, those are just surface attractions. They are gratifications for the moment; our real desires run much deeper. This is why the instant we gratify our momentary sexual urges a much deeper emptiness returns to call for our attention. That call springs from our unfulfilled, yet most unyielding desires. Our true and deep desires such as experiencing life with a companion, being understood, and sharing our most intimate thoughts with another will never be satisfied through our compliance to our simple and selfish interest. Think about it, how often do people decide that they need more from life, after they realize that sex alone cannot fulfill their greatest desires?
Please believe me when I say, “This over sexed society is fighting to keep you in the moment.” The Internet, television, billboards, and radio are constantly manipulating you to think no further than what can satisfy you now. Ironically, it is the endless pursuit to gratifying the moment that is keeping you from long term satisfaction in life. Maybe some of you think you’re cool with that, at least for now. On the other hand, I’m sure many more of you would really enjoy having someone that you can trust in, share life with, reveal your heart to, and he or she understands who you really are. Most people call that person “the one”. You can hear people saying it all the time. They excitedly state, “I’m looking for the one!” We all want “the one”!
The sad truth is though we are looking for “the one” in many cases we are not “the one” ourselves, at least not “the one” that our “one” is looking for in return. In fact, if our “one” had the lifestyle that we currently have, then we would immediately eliminate the possibility of him or her being “the one”. We must realize that if we are looking for someone to be something special for us, then we must be prepared to be something special for them. Let it be known, that doesn’t happen overnight.
You cannot be the devil while you’re praying for an angel. You can’t be a moth, but expecting someone else to be your butterfly. It’s plain and simple; the fox doesn’t run with the hounds and birds really don’t want anything to do with the bees.
I really like the way the Message Bible expresses this principle. Second Corinthians 6:14-15 of the Message Bible says, “How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That’s not partnership; that’s war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands?”
Many of us are looking for someone that is trustworthy, faithful, and honest. Basically, we want a person with moral standards to be our special someone, but we continue to live our own lives by the low standards encouraged by our sex driven society. Don’t be mistaken; extraordinary people are not attracted to ordinary and common behavior. It is ridiculous to expect the “the one” to arrive while your life is cluttered with too much of “that”, whatever or whoever “that” may be.
Jersey shore, Desperate House Wives, and Trey Songz’ can’t give you the slightest help with preparing for “the one”. Their only job is to keep you in the moment, but there is “ONE” that can help you prepare. I know a match maker that specializes in this sort of thing. He is more familiar with your deepest desires than you are. He knows exactly what you need, but before He introduces you to “the one” He wants to introduce himself as the “The One”. He is “The One” that knows your heart and understands you perfectly. He is “The One” that you can share everything with. He is “The One” that loves you with true love, and can teach you to love someone else with the same. Actually, He is “The One” that has created “the one” for you!
