4. I want more for you.
God created marriage and sex for your enjoyment. Sex was created for one man and one woman within the covenant of marriage, and it has been that way from the beginning. Anything else is sin. Sin is not a fun word or a comfortable topic, but Jesus will not stop bringing it to our attention because we will miss out on life with Him if sin is left unaddressed. You may think Jesus is trying to take the one thing you enjoy or spoil your fun, but that is not the case.The reason He clearly defined marriage and sex in the Bible is because He wants what is best for you.

Ignore the political arguments, the protestors, and the yelling. Jesus wants you to trust Him. Trust that He has good things in store for you. Trust that He wants what is best for you. Before you decide that what you feel is right, decide if you trust Him (Matthew 19:4-6*And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,*And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?*Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. - Matthew 19:4-6; Ephesians 3:17-21*That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,*May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;*And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.*Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,*Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. - Ephesians 3:17-21; 1 Timothy 2:4 *Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. - 1 Timothy 2:4).

5. I will be here for you.
You may disagree with Jesus’s thoughts on sex and marriage, but He will not turn away from you. You may enjoy the life you live right now even if it disagrees with the guidelines He laid out in Scripture. Jesus understands your hesitation to make changes. He does not give up on us. For a long time now, people have disagreed with Him, yelled at Him, and run from Him, and He patiently waits. Jesus is patient with us because He wants you to know Him. Jesus wants you to live the life He has planned for you. When you are worn out from doing things your way, He will be here. Turn to Him and ask for help, and He will be there before you can blink.

There is no permanent joy outside of Jesus. Jesus wants what is best for you, and He wants you to experience a full life. Jesus is not concerned with winning an argument or forcing you to do something you don’t want to do. Jesus wants you to know that your relationship with Him is better than anything else out there. Until you reach that point, He will be here patiently drawing you to Himself (Romans 2:4. *Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? - Romans 2:4; 2 Peter 3:9*The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9; 1 Peter 5:7*Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. - 1 Peter 5:7; Hosea 14 *O israel, return unto the Lord thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.*Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.*Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses: neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods: for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.*I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.*I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.*His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.*They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the corn, and grow as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.*Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found.*Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the Lord are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors shall fall therein. - Hosea 14:1-9).
