Often we think of bowel production as gross, but it is really good because God created it. Where would we be if we could not rid our bodies of bowel movements?
Sometimes bowel movements are called "waste." Yet beauty products like mascara and lipstick may contain bat guano, which is bat bowel movements!
One of the top sexual fantasies is to make love in plain view of a large mirror or multiple mirrors. Sounds gross to some, but God gave us eyes and made these along with the rest of our bodies both of which God says are good.
Why not consider different, creative ways of lovemaking? Perhaps our spouses would enjoy a full moon with finding a way to combine privacy, open curtains and sessions of fiery lovemaking. Or spouses may go the bathroom; turn down the lights; light up the scented candles; turn up the music; lock the door; relax as no one is likely to disturb us during steamy sex. Or what can we think of and act out to express ecstatic lovemaking with our spouses? The National Survey of Sexual Health and Behavior reports that the more sexual positions a woman engages in with a man during a lovemaking session the greater the potential for orgasms. A spouse who asks us to try something new in sex is not necessarily influenced by Satan. The inspiration may be from God! God the Son Jesus Christ says in John 10:10 Amplified Bible, "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows.)"
We only live this earthly life once. Live it well. When was the last time we praised and worshiped God for bowel movements and for creative lovemaking? If we have received God the Father, God the Son Jesus Christ and God the Holy Ghost, God has already given us permission to enjoy this life with Him and with people in eager anticipation of life with Him and with His people in heaven. Hebrews 9:27-28 New Living Translation Bible says, "And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment, so also Christ died once for all time as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again, not to deal with our sins, but to bring salvation to all who are eagerly waiting for him."
When we don't treat our sexuality and all of our body well we are disrespecting our Maker; we are not recognizing God for the genius He is; we are calling God a liar for He said that all He created was good, very good. Why not say and act out the belief that bowel production is good and not gross; creative marital lovemaking is good and not nasty or sinful? Perhaps a vacation is needed to spark some new marital creativity? -- sex under a natural waterfall, sex in a field of daisies, sex at a bed-and-breakfast, sex in a hotel skyscraper overlooking a city, sex etc.
Some ways to enjoy the good in what might be falsely considered gross, nasty and/or sinful are:

Some ways to enjoy the good in what might be falsely considered gross, nasty and/or sinful are:
- Receive the love of God.
- Give the love of God to ourselves and our spouse.
- While living by Biblical principles is liberating, refuse to live rigidly by a set of human-made rules.
- Seek to aggressively see the benefit in all of God and God's creation.
- Be continuously willing to try new things. Keep the good. Turkish-American Mehmet Cengiz Oz, MD, MBA, surgeon, writer, television and radio personality, among other things says in "My Best Life Lesson" for Woman's Day magazine, "Life is a balance between change and constancy."
- Learn to empathize with others who are not like us. Distinguish between style and substance. Some things are not sins, but style issues.
- Learn about as many ways of doing things as possible.
- While it is true that believers will receive new bodies in the heavenly life, Jesus Christ also nourished His earthly body, and counsels us to love others as we love ourselves. Shed all thinking contrary to the truth that God designed our bodies for good not evil.
- Think frequently in a garden of thought patterns that cultivate, cherish and celebrate sexuality and marital sex. Weed out those thoughts that don't cultivate, cherish and celebrate sexuality and marital sex.
Talk With God Throughout Today: God, You are a Genius and a Lover. Help me to see Your good, creativity, joy, love, brilliance in things that I think are gross.
