Dear Fairy Followers,Please welcome our guest blogger, Deborah Kay. Deb is a 35 year old scientist who is gifted in music and worship. She's also a dear friend of mine who is still single. Here's what she has to say on the subject of purity.
Sometimes I wonder if I’m totally out of touch with the challenges of living as a young single person in this culture. I mean, I am 35 now. I’ll admit, when the Bible Devotional Fairy asked if I would do a guest blog about purity, I wasn’t sure what I would say…because, by golly, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in that department. Believe it or not, when I was a teenager I made a commitment to God that I wasn’t going to kiss someone until I became engaged. I’ve blown that one more times than I’d like to admit. But the two times in my life I had the guts to tell the guy I was alone with about my “rule” they respected my boundary and we stayed out of trouble.
Psalm 119:9-10
How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.
I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
Pray these two verses as often as you can. Commit them to memory. Invite God to chaperone your dates – or take an even higher road and avoid dates altogether. One day you’ll look back and be proud of the decisions you made because you understood that God isn’t trying to spoil our fun; he wants to preserve it for the right time and place – the safety and sanctity of marriage. And that’s the truth whether you’re 15, 25 or 35.
