Jesus is Better than Sex


Outside of getting sick, I enjoyed the honeymoon. Thoroughly enjoyed the honeymoon. It was fun, delightful, and sweet at so many times and in so many ways.
After Magnus and I consummated our relationship, we were out driving and talking – just sharing thoughts and feelings. My wonderful husband started to say something, then stopped, afraid it would offend me. I pressed him and he said, “Well, it’s just… nothing against you, but I’ve had better experiences with Jesus.” I smiled and agreed.
To reiterate – I thoroughly enjoyed my honeymoon. But I absolutely agree with my husband. Jesus offers so much more – I have had such intimate, personal encounters with God through my time knowing and following him that I can boldly say that sex dims in comparison to Jesus.
I don’t think I realized the influence of the culture on my thinking of sex because, for some reason, I thought that this would not be true. I thought that sex would be so amazing and sweet that it would blow away all else. It blew away a lot… but not Jesus.
He stands firm yesterday, today, and tomorrow. My first love. The one who made me – made me for marriage and brought Magnus into my life – has made me to have intimate, sweet, personal and deep relationship with him. A relationship which causes all else to dim in comparison.
Now – if we’ve been given these glimpses here on earth, how much more amazing will heaven be?
