We live in a society where being first is important. Being first in line, being the first to buy a hot item, being first to watch a hit movie at a midnight screening, being the first to make a record… It’s all about being first. But sad to say, when it comes to love and relationships, we are hoping to find the last person we will love, the last person we will kiss, the last person who has meaning in our hearts. Even during proms, it is the last dance that means the most because the first one is just a “warm up.”

It says a lot about our priorities, doesn’t it? When it comes to being the best, we want to be there in the front, ahead of everybody; but in what matters in life, such as love and relationships, we push it to the last and say it was important because we gave that person the last bit of us. To me “last bit” means leftovers. It’s nothing important it’s just the extras, scraps.
Vanessa Williams’ song “Save the Best for last” is one of my favorites because I like how it sounds but upon a closer look, I decided it wasn’t a song for me. It is about a woman in love with her friend but he is busy with other women…until the last possible moment when he realizes that she is the last person he will love. It is cute if you think about how sometimes we are just made to wait but the wait is worth it. In that sense, I agree in. However, the guy already gave his heart (and most likely his body) to the women before her, leaving only the “last bit” for her. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to have the whole package, not leftovers!
As Teens set Apart, how does this affect us? We should save our firsts for the man or woman who will also be our last. Let’s not throw away our heart, minds and bodies leaving only last bits for the person God made for us. Don’t you think being the first, last and only one in someone’s heart is great? Don’t you think your future husband or wife would be thankful that you saved everything for him or her? It starts today, at this moment. If you’ve already given away your first away, do not despair. We have a God who is faithful and just to forgive us our past mistakes but do not continue to throw away what you have because you will run out eventually with nothing to give to your future spouse.
Treasure your heart, your body, and your mind. They are precious jewels to be valued and cherished, to be given as a gift only to the one who is your first, last, and only.
