It's about the heart, emotions,
and intellect, as well as the body. |
| Love is something every person yearns
for— men AND women. It is to the heart what water
is to the body. Have you ever been thirsty—so thirsty that you craved
a cool drink of water. Our heart is thirsty for someone to love us
for who we are and accept us unconditionally. If only we could have that
kind of love, then we would be truly happy. |
| Many young people spend their lives
looking for this love and happiness. With parched hearts they grab onto
anything that looks like it will satisfy their thirst for love. They may
find it for a while, but it never lasts. And so they continue looking.
They may try alcohol, drugs or partying to dull the pain in their hearts.
Or they get involved in one sexual relationship after another looking
for real love. But nothing seems to work out like they had hoped. Many
times they end up compromising their sexual integrity
by using their bodies in ways they may not want to. |
| Sex is a powerful, intimate act.
If you separate it from commitment and faithfulness, you can end up with
a lot of emptiness, pain, and guilt. |

How to say NO:

• Avoid difficult or compromising situations
• Don't drink or use drugs on a date
• Say what you mean and mean what you say
• Date someone with your same values
• Be willing to stand firm or leave the scene

True love
protects 100% of the time. If someone truly loves you they won't
expose you to a risk. Abstinence is
an act of love. It considers the other person by protecting every
part of them— body, mind, and emotions. |

YOU ARE WORTH THE WAIT. SAY "NO" AND WAIT. |
