RE:lationships

As always I'm continually impressed by high relationship turnover rates especially in and around my own youth group you would think that with the yearly sometimes BI-FREAKING-YEARLY sex/relationship lessons we get that people still go and fornicate (the looooong form of the f word) it up like its their motherfornicating jobs. Not that I'm that much better, but I consider myself a little better than most. But enough about me lets talk about all of you. In my observations you guys cant decide between dating the youth group one person at a time and the utter-yes-we've-all-been-there-heart-wrenching/rendering/rending-I'll-never-love-another-
like-I-love-you-now-please-never-leave-me-ness
Which makes me wonder why do we even date at all. The obvious answer being that we are all hormone drunk sweaty teens tricked into believing that our hearts should be followed and really do have all the answers. The other being that dating, holding hands and having someone to cling to gives us all a warm fuzzy feeling that seems to fill a void in us somewhere. Some people are addicted to that, and can't go to long without trying to fill it with someone else. Whether the succeed or fail is not the point, the point is rather that the are addicted to it. I think that void is actually two that overlap some and are right next to each other one is marked G-d the other that special someone. Now G-d can and should fill both and I believe that he will and will be better for you than any boy or girl ever could. I guess I just wanted you guys to know that. That G-d can fill the void, and he wants to, and that please let him start to fill it before starting to fill it with the special person too. I wanted you all to know that sometimes holding on to relationships long after their expiration dates or injecting more life into them because you're afraid of change isn't healthy, that bouncing around from and through relationships isn't good, that rebounds just cause more pain for everyone involved. That random play and friends with benefits always end with one person violating the agreement and becoming to emotionally invested. That your physical acts, all of them, not just sex, should be kept sacred and never cheapened. I want you all to consider G-d first in the relationship and the other person second. I wanted you all to know that when it's over that you can and should move on learn what you can, thank G-d for it, and continue on your journey. Realize that your love was good for a time. Don't linger. Please realize that I'm still a man and I recently ended a relationship, and right now have a girl or two that haunt my dreams and fill me with a longing for that very type of relationship i talked about so this is for me as much as it is for all of you. I know I'm a hypocrite, aren't we all? I also ask that if you respond to this, please be kind I write this with a heavy heart, not an angry one. with the knowledge that we can all learn from everything here even if we aren't going through it right now. if you feel like I'm calling you out specifically, look into your own heart and see if there is truth.

May the LORD our G-d bless you and keep you.
I love you all, yes, even you.
