Something I wrote a while ago...

You know, lately I've really been burdened with the condition girls are letting their hearts fall into. Whispers, giggles, and flirty side-glances seem to be the girl's way of life. But I'm going to ask you to stop everything your doing right now and think about this practically. I know practically is no fun, but you will either do this, or wish you had. Take your choice.

First, I want you to think about WHY you wear the clothes you wear. Is because you like them? That's fine. It feels awful to have to wear something you don't like. But now please search your heart and see if it’s also because these clothes seem to attract more boys. You may know this to be the case and find nothing wrong with that, but bear with me. I'm getting to the real stuff here in a minute.

Now I'd like you to stop and think of the types of boys you do attract. Do they treat you as a lady should be treated, or are you a toy?



Now I want you to think about the whole big picture. How many guys are there out there in the world? Millions.

How many would probably have a crush on you if you flirted with them just the right way? thousands.

How many would be lots of fun to date? hundreds.

How many will you marry? One.



Once you are married, God says you cannot get a divorce. Sorry to break it to you, but you walk down the isle to your future for good. "Till death do us part" should never be taken lightly.

Now with that in mind, how many guys in the world would marry an old, ugly, useless woman who is absolutely no fun any more? Not many.

You will not always be young and beautiful. If you attract your husband with the clothes you wear or the way you make him feel, when you fail to do that anymore, he won't love you anymore, and you will feel it in the uttermost parts of your heart.



Please listen to me and save your heart for the man that will truly love you! Did you know you could give your heart away without giving your body away? You can, and its easy and its fun. Satan's not dumb, so he's going to make sin look as appealing as possible. Boys are fun when they know how to flirt. Sometimes they don't even have to do that; but don't trade your future joy for your present happiness!! God can’t use you the way He want to if you are constantly distracted by trying to get noticed! When the man God made for you come along, he will notice you. He can’t help it. Its already planned out and taken care of. Its up to you to prepare for it. Once he finds you it will all be worthwhile!



So what do you do while your waiting? Get involved in serving your God! He has given you at least 18 years of limited responsibilities and multiple freedoms! Think about it. You don't have a family to care for yet, you don't have bills to pay, and you don’t have to worry about where you will sleep or what you will eat,... You do have time! Do something useful with it besides pleasing yourself! Do you realize how many adults look at all their responsibilities and wish they had more time for the ministry? I'm learning to thank God that He has not sent my husband to me yet. While I'm waiting, I can get involved in teaching the kids and making myself completely available to my authorities.

You will never know how fulfilling this kind of life is until you live it. It sounds boring... and I won't lie to you, sometimes it is. Sometimes you will look around at the couples at the mall and cry out and ask God what He thinks He's doing up there. But that’s when you have to remind yourself what you know He's doing right here. He cares more about your happiness than you do yourself; and He answers prayer one of three ways.



1. No. It’s not good enough for My child.

2. Yes. This is best.

3. Yes, but wait for my timing. If I gave it to you now, it would hurt you. Just wait.



Girls, wouldn't it be great to know that your husband only loved you and not his old girlfriend you remind him of? Why don't you give him the same love? Start loving your husband right now, while your still young. Hopping from guy to guy actually trains you for divorce.



Think about it. You either will, or wish you had.
