My Scarlet Letter

I have never read the book "The Scarlet Letter", But I do know the main thing is that a young woman has to wear a bid red "A" on her chest to stand for adultery so that the whole world would know, and shun her for it. I think we all kind of have that scarlet letter to one extent or another, and mine is an "S"....For Slut.
I am not really one. I don't sleep around, I haven't been with a lot of guys, I have never cheated or done anything that most women get the title for doing. I don't dress provocatively, so why did I get this letter? I am a Christian without my virginity and people unfortunately know it. I didn't tell hardly anyone at first, But somehow (most likely my ex) everyone found out, and so instead of dwelling in my guilt, I decided if God could forgive me, I could forgive myself, and use something bad for good. It seems weird, but it is a lot easier to talk to people about things if you can relate to them, and honestly, so many people feel that since they have done so much in the past, they cant go back, and they can. They can be washed clean by the blood of Christ, and they don't really realize that because they feel like no one around them had been through or experienced things they have. But the truth is most people have, and are so ashamed of their fall into temptation, the don't say anything. My though is: Temptation is kinda like a dangerous, gigantic cave full of bears. You can easily fall in, and never come out in one piece.... But if you manage to survive and find the right way out, you have a little wisdom to share and a quite a story to tell. So go ahead, put a giant "S" on my forehead, and let me tell you how to erase the letter on your heart.
