CELIBACY Life

I just discover what I felt….

Recently people around started asking the same questions which made sick. But is it really sickening?! As human and being an image of God, we are destined to unite with another person and form a family. However there are certain people who are not married and continue living a celibate life. Still, celibacy is often perceived as an incompleteness in life. A person who is single is generally considered as having lack of confidence, too picky, or worse: homosexual. When a man reaches a certain maturity he will be expected to find a woman and marry her. As a person living in Asian cultures and values, I am expected to get married as well, therefore having heard above conversations is more frequent since I reach 25 years old. Some people have even gone further by trying to set up a date with a girl. Hehehe, I thank you guys/gals for your concern but blind date is really not my thing. *smirk*
Once I Love person, I’ll love the one until my dying end. Just come what may…
No game of Love in my Life…

Gosh…..

Back to celibacy issue. I’ve heard from an excerpt that Paul (from the Bible) is a good example. Despite of his words saying that a man is destined to unite with a woman because a man is overcome by passion and a holy marriage will conceal him from ungodly deeds, Paul had a special 'gift' to overcome such temptation and living celibate. According to Paul, it is good for a man to stay unmarried and he wished that all men should be like him. However if a man cannot hold his passion then it is wise for him to marry.

Well I am still pondering over this passage and cannot have all the answers onward. But I do know that celibacy can be a gift from God given to certain people and it will be better for him/her than getting married. It gives you a chance to depend more on God and care more on other human beings.

So.... what am I going to do?? Hehe, the best way is to keep praying until I find His answer. Im tired to cry out loud and scream of shout.
In the mean time: Guys/gals, thanks for your concern … I do need ya’ll to pray for me and my life…. I couldn’t stay for any longer of my sicken life!


Bless ya’ll n Best Regards,
