Beautiful In Every Way

As girls we want to feel beautiful. And this world bombards us with images and tells us we need this or that to "get the guy" or "look beautiful". You need to have shorter shorts and lower tops etc.

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one standing for Modesty and nobody cares.

God thinks we are beautiful. He made us in His image. And Christ is beautiful!!! Outward appearance is nothing to Christ: your True Lover. Its your inner beauty that counts. Eternity is such a long time we can't even grasp it. And our time on earth is so short. We are to store up treasure for ourselves in heaven during our short time on earth. Outer beauty and its benefits last so short and inner beauty benefits for eternity. So do we went want to dwell on outer beauty or inner beauty?

I found this link to a modesty survey and hearing the answers to this particular question encouraged me. I linked you right to the answers for the question so just scroll down some to read them. I found them encouraging and hope you do too!

God bless.

To God alone be the glory!

Twilight: Not A Fan

Sorry to all you Twilight lovers out there, but I'm not a fan. Whoa! Wait a second before you judge me.
Playing with evil is not good. Vampire's are evil. Demonic.

In other words do you think God would be pleased if He saw you reading or watching Twilight? I don't think so. Yet He knows you're doing it. God hates evil, vampires and warewolves are evil, God wants us to be like Him, pure; hating evil. So why are we doing something that God clearly does not like?

Psalm 26:9

Do not take my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men.

If anything I don't think Twilight is building up our Christian Faith. I think it is tearing it down. Vampires: bloodthirsty men are evil. God hates evil.

Proverbs 29:10

Bloodthirsty men hate a man of integrity and seek to kill the upright.

He wants us to run from evil. Vampires and warewolves are evil. God tells us to flee from evil. HELLO?

1Timothy 6:11

But you, man fo God, flee from all this, and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endorance and gentleness.

If you (like me) do not like Twilight, I want you to tell me through a comment. I know I'm not the only one who doesn't like it.

If you like Twilight you can comment as well. As I like to say- "What is my Faith good for, If it isn't tested once in a while?"

But I challange everyone reading this, not to stop watching and reading Twilight, but to think and dwell upon what God thinks of it, and if it brings glory to Him. And if you decide to keep reading it and watching it that's fine. I'm just glad you thought about it first.
So I challange you to ask this question, "What does God think?"

Go ahead and tell me what you came up with.
To God alone be the glory.

Purity

Purity is more than a word. It is a commitment to stay pure. Purity of heart, mind, soul, thoughts, and relationships, that is what I pray for myself and others each morning.

Today I want to talk about Purity in/with relationships with guys/girls. This is the way I see it:

Are you ready to get married right now? If your answer is no, I advise you to wait to date.

I don't date. I court.

Hold on a sec I'm not done! I see you moving that cursor away!

Many people don't understand what courting is or they think they know what is. Courting has the same plan as dating: find you're future husband. Although in courting you don't float around from guy to guy (or girl to girl) breaking hearts, and playing the game of dating.

Whenever I say I don't date, I court, people say: I'd never do that! Then I ask them why and they say: 'Cause.

I court because I want to find the perfect man for me and save myself for him. When you date it's kind of like playing with feelings. At 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, maybe even 17 you probably aren't ready to get married.

The fact is: You're going to break up. Being teens we don't know who we are yet. We're in this awkward stage between kid and adult and we don't know which category to be in. Are feelings are all over the place. One minute I'm laughing the next I'm crying. I don't even know why! My Mom tells me two very important things:

1. Don't let your emotions rule you.
2. Don't listen to your emotions, they lie.
   

Courting, is preparing yourself for your husband (or wife), keeping yourself pure. If you fall in love with every guy/girl you see, what do you think is going to happen when you finally find the one and they know all about your other relationships?

I love God and God thinks this issue is important. Therefore so do I. Therefore, so should you.

To God alone be the Glory.
