And You're raising the dead in me,
"Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires."
- Songs of Songs 8:4
"Do you see a man who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for him."
- Proverbs 29:20
"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."
- Proverbs 4:23
Let this remind you, the reason to keep yourself pure. Don't replace God as the object of your affection, because He's the only one who truly deserves it.
While I will do my best to keep all my brothers from being led astray by not doing things or saying words that suggest romance and dressing so that it does not draw attention to my body, I do hope that you all will defend the honour and righteousness of my sisters and I too. Please guard our purity. As we tend to struggle more with our emotions, every word and action that you do counts. Don't stir up inappropriate feelings or expectations. Don't be the "thief" of our hearts. Don't steal the focus from God.
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.
- Hebrews 10:24
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."
- Matthrew 5:8
God has plans for each and every one of us. Don't mess it up by straying to a life of impurity.
Let us make the purity of others a priority, and encourage each other to keep our hearts set in the direction of righteousness.
If we are the body, why aren't His arms reaching;
Why aren't His hands reaching;
Why aren't His Words teaching;
Why aren't His feet going;
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
There is a way.
