When I was sixteen, I recall there being a sneaking depression in my heart. I saw my associates dating and thought, "I need somebody to prize me like that, as well." Yet my explanations behind needing to date were colossally childish. They were energized by a yearning for fulfillment, noteworthiness, and self-transcendence.
Dating at that point wouldn't have been in accommodation to God. It would have been out and out, self-centered insubordination. Genuine dating is tame dating http://www.findcoolpeople.com. We present our longings, enticements, timing, inclinations, and bodies to Christ, and yield ourselves for the sacredness and great of someone else.
