But by convincing young women to defer marriage to a later date, the devil is actually convincing young women to allow their male peer group to move on to different women. Young women are finding that their career successes during their twenties put them in competition with the young men in their peer group, and when a man looks for a wife, he is not looking for someone with whom he can compete. So, the young men in their natural peer group look for younger women with whom they can be husband and wife, not co-husbands.

There is a Divine inheritance for each one that resolves to do as Jesus says and follow the commandment of God, which is how we worship and glorify God. Those in the world that do not know the Lord will offer us alternatives based upon their own imaginations and the prompting of the devil, but our allegiance to God is shown through our decision to follow the commandments of God.

Friendship with God requires us to use that which we have fruitfully to do good works, to increase in the knowledge and the strength of God that comes from exercising the power of God, which will lead us into developing the attributes of patience, longsuffering and ultimately joy.

We are all God’s children, and regardless of the sin that we have committed, the Father is still looking for us to come home and receive His grace, if we will only repent of our sins and believe the gospel of Jesus Christ.
