It’s Never to Late to WAIT

Today is my birthday.

A few months before my thirtieth birthday, I made the decision to recommit my body to Christ. I had lived differently before, but I knew God was calling me to something better.

Even after making that commitment, the struggle didn’t magically disappear. The flesh is real, and those desires can be strong. Talking about refraining from sex and actually refraining from sex are two very different things.

Choosing purity takes strength.

It will not happen by accident. You have to make a decision and fight for it.

And the truth is, on your own you don’t have the strength you need for that fight. That strength comes from Jesus. When we draw near to Him, He gives us the grace and power we need to overcome temptation.

Scripture reminds us:

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.”
— James 4:8

During that season, I had to remind myself of something important: it was never too late to stop having premarital sex.

It’s never too late to WAIT.

Just because you cannot undo what you have already sown does not mean you cannot start sowing something new.

God’s grace allows us to make a new decision today, regardless of what yesterday looked like.

Premarital sex is a sin. God can forgive that sin—but even more than that, He desires to use your life for His glory.

And sometimes the most powerful testimony is someone who decides to stop, turn around, and honor God from this moment forward.

Because it is never too late to WAIT.
