Our sexuality gives us singles a unique opportunity to return the love of the One who first loved us, and to suffer minutely for the One who suffered horrifically for us.

No matter how low opinion we have of ourselves, it is a fact that if we muddied our moral standards every one of us could find someone who would have sex with us, even if we had to pay money for it. Rather than defile what Christ has purified, we endure sexual frustration. Our love for Christ moves us to choose to suffer sexual deprivation rather than sexual depravity. That choice is our love gift to him. Of course, we could give our mighty Lord nothing that he has not first given us. We can sacrifice for him our sexual pleasure only because he first gave us our sexuality. And we want to sacrifice a little of what he has given us only because our crucified Savior has already sacrificed everything for us.
