A Gift Called Love..!
They sat together on the rocks and watched the waves come in. She felt his arms around her and felt safe and secure. “Thank you God!” she whispered, “For giving me somebody who loves me so much and who I love so very much too!” She heard the soothing sound of the waters and she nuzzled closer into his muscular arms.
The gentle lulling sounds of the waves must have made her doze off for a few minutes but she was suddenly all alert: She felt his arms, they were not around her. His hands had left her shoulders and were slowly tracing a circle around her neck. She felt herself stirring with desire and turned to him. His hands were now like roaming tentacles and she felt passion in his movements. He tried to lay her down on the rocks.
“No!” she said gently, “No!”
“Why not?” he asked a little too roughly, “We’re going to be married, it’s okay!”
“When we’re married it’ll be okay!” she said with a smile.
“I thought you loved me,” he said, his passion unabated.
“Very much!” she said, “I had a dream just now when I dozed off. I dreamt I was outside my body and that I was walking towards it. My body was like a temple. Like a house of God!”
“Yes,” he said slightly disinterested.
“There were lights inside my body and the lights shone out for all the world to see.”
“See what?” he asked with a smile.
“See that God was dwelling inside the temple!”
“Inside your body?” he asked incredulously.
“Strange isn’t it?” she asked looking at him with a smile. “But I saw my body was the temple of God and that He was living in me.”
The waves from the sea gently splashed against the rocks and there was a silence between the two young lovers. “If God dwells in your body,” he said slowly, “Then it is a holy place!”
“If God dwells in my body,” she said, “I need to keep myself holy!”
He looked at her and slowly put his arms around her again. She felt his strength and sureness and also the fact that he had understood. “He dwells in you too,” she said with a smile.
“I know,” he said and looked at her with eyes of love.
“We need to keep ourselves pure and holy for God to continue abiding in us,” she said, “I wonder though, why I dreamt there were lights in my body?”
“Lights for others to see God in you!” he said simply.
They watched the sea as it gently kissed the rocks and they felt their eyes on each other. They turned to each other and their faces grew close in love as their lips touched each other. “Strange,” he murmured, “I love you so much more now that I do not lust for your body!”
“Our bodies are God’s holy temple,” she whispered as she held him close and thanked God for a gift called love.
