Let’s us also follow God’s directive
in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in
the way he should go, and when he
is old he will not depart from it.” God
is always working to draw us to him.
Sometimes it takes a while for us to
cooperate and get on board. Don’t give
up hope. God never does.

Ponder This
Discuss “real love” with your family this
week. Ask your family members for
examples of when they thought you
demonstrated real love, even though
it meant you said no to what they
wanted. Talk candidly about the
downsides of premarital sex. Remind
your family members that God totally
gets our struggle with temptation
and selfishness. Remind them of
God’s abundant grace. Commit to
candidly loving each other, while also
staying committed to following God’s
teachings on moral truth.
