Sexual Health Buzz

I learned I was exposed to herpes last year. It has been very difficult dealing with the emotions concerning the impact to society as well as the social response. I have repeated to myself over and over again that I will not transmit to anyone; as such I have personally elected to remain without a husband and without sexual contact of any kind.

I am not innocent as some are who also share in the discomfort and in this experience with me. Shamefully I am guilty of sin, many times over, that led to this.

My biggest heartache is the fact that I am a carrier of a contagious disease, but as someone said before, I believe I learned something that until this came along- I had not learned by any other means and that was to fear the Lord.

I have desires just as anyone else, but the fear of the Lord and the sadness that fills my heart of compromising someone else’s health as mine was compromised, hurts me.

When I read that the Lord said that our bodies are his temple and that fornication was the only sin against the body, I began to respect the body of others–but not until I learned I was afflicted. I contracted my disease from my husband just before I married him. Needless to say I sinned.

The word helps me to see how important the body is to the Father. I know you ALL love the Lord as I do and perhaps even more than I. I am so glad that there are some of you who found a man or woman to share your life with. I left my husband, he and his entire family deceived me on several major issues and when confronted, their response was “who cares” it was so early in the marriage that I elected to leave. When I returned home to my family I went to get tested and that’s when I learned there was more. Thankfully I did not sin like that since then.

I am grateful to know that the Lord made provision for me to leave so long as I do not seek anyone else to marry. I think that the Lord is extraordinarily just and merciful.

Please, if you have not found a husband or wife to share your life with and you ask the Lord to bless you, he will. Our circumstances are not all the same as you have seen through the testimonies of others, God knows what is and what is not appropriate-he decides and he gives accordingly.

Remember that he loves you deeply and wants you to make good choices; choices that will help you inherit life forever with him. He loves you so profoundly. Just please understand that his kingdom is very different from the one that deceives the world and we are given the option to chose whom we will love, that we might give him our loyalty as the Righteous King is worthy!

If he were not God, he would not be able to punish anyone. I have not known of any statue or image on the planet that can see everything we do and correct us, not one.
