Recently Heisman trophy winner Tim Tebow, quarterback of the National Champion University of Florida Gator Football Team declares that he is a virgin and is saving himself until marriage.
Tim's life is interesting, if not fascinating. He grew up as a Christian missionary and has experienced Jesus Christ's love for the unloved first hand. His roots and spiritual strength are pure and strong. He wasn't a kid who lived Christianity at 50%. No Tim's life and his family's life has been 100% in for the Lord. In his young life, Tim also has seen enormous fame and with that fame comes temptation. Tim however is so well grounded in his purpose and He trusts the plans that God has for him so much, He is willing to wait on God to provide that perfect bride at the perfect time. You see with Tim, it's not a sign of his weakness, it's a sign of his strength. Yes, his strength to trust God. Is he enjoying life while staying pure? Of course he is - his life is more fulfilling then most peoples and how often did you seen him in the media without a genuine smile on his face from ear to ear? But you ask, what if he didn't have football and fame - would he still be smiling? Well - it's clear that he would be just as joyful. Tim draws his joy, his peace, and his purpose from God. For Tim since he is living a life of purity, abstinence is very achievable and life is still filled with purpose and joy.
Tim is a great Christian witness. He gets the big picture, he gets the eternal picture.
Truly put God first and watch what he does in your life.
