Growing up with christian parents and a belief in God, I believed in God for salvation but I didn't trust God enough to do things His way. I saw christianity as difficult and figured God would forgive me for my sins so I pretty much lived a life not unlike any of my friends.
As I've got older I've realised that God instructs us because He loves us, and wants the best for us. It took time to recognise that my sins were in fact snares that took time to overcome.
By the grace of God, I now choose to live life obedient to Him. I believe that he empowers us to do so, but the moment we think we can do it in our own strength, we are likely to fall back into sin.
I'm blessed to be at a great church, and my church has alot of people. I've met many girls there, and admittedly I've been attracted to a few of them. As I've gotten to know these girls, I've recognised that either A) they aren't attracted to me or B) our personalities aren't a match for one another.
A couple of weeks ago however, I went away for the weekend with a dozen or so friends from church. One of the girls I'd only met once before and I didn't really know her but we seemed to really hit it off. We've been out for a dinner a few times since and I've grown very fond of her.
Though I've had girlfriends before, I've matured alot since I last had a girlfriend and I want to do things right this time and draw a line well safe of falling into sin.
In theory, I'd decided to draw the line at a kiss. In practice however, kisses somehow seem unfinished and I'm left wondering if we'll go the distance with this as the line, and so I put the question to you:
Where do you draw the line?
