chicken vs. abstinence

I was watching like 5 minutes of Oprah today and the part that I was watching made perfect sense with saving yourself for marriage.  Okay a little background:

Oprah had a chef on her show cooking with a full chicken.  The chef said that you are supposed to tie the legs together of the chicken.  Not because this is a "fancy" way of cooking chicken but because it cooks the meat thoroughly.  If the legs are not tied together then there are parts of the chicken that are not ready to eat when the rest of the chicken could overcook because those parts of the chicken are not ready to eat.

This is the same with saving yourself for marriage.  You stay abstinent for your marriage and you will be able to give your complete self to your spouse.  If you don't save yourself there are parts of you that may never be ready to marry and give yourself to your spouse.  I'm not saying that you will never be able to but it will take longer to get ready to be ready for your future spouse. 

Now I know this seems a little far fetched in ways but honestly if you think about it.... it's so true.  If you refuse to follow the path that God has for you and you won't prepare yourself for your future spouse then you could possibly be emotionally and spiritually scarred forever.  God has such a big plan for all of you who are single or not married yet.  Save this part of yourself because just imagine the kind of life you could save yourself from if you do not give in to the worldly pressures but give in to the hand of God.  I know it's hard.... I'm still going through hearing the "it's okay" or "no one else has to know" voices in my head.  But the harder I push those away the easier it is for God to intervene and care for His children.  So let Him care for you and give in to Him and not the world.  You won't regret it.  I know I never will.
