Young Women
“…’like mother, like daughter!’ You are your mother’s daughter,
loathing husband and children and you are the sister of your
sisters, who loathed their husbands and children.”
Ezekiel 16:44,45
Young women, the future of a people has never depended on a group more than we need you today. I know this may seem unfair; however, you are the ones who must begin to stop this epidemic. You should not imitate the world that is around you. You must choose purity over sinfulness, chastity over fornication. Our people must be rescued. The world wants you defiled because it is defiled. God has so much more planned for your life. You could be anything you want to be in this world, if you would only seek God and His righteousness. If you would only choose purity for yourself there is no limit to what God can and will do for you. This is the beginning of all that you desire. But it must begin with you submitting to God. The world wants you to believe that it is ok to defile yourself prior to marriage or that you do not even need to be married to have children. You look around and the television, movies, and music videos portray you as faceless objects. Gyrating bodies without human emotions and not deserving human respect. Do not be tricked by the world as it has tricked many of your mothers. The world wants you to believe that you are free to do whatever you want, but that is not true. True love of God means to obey God. Give God your body, your soul, and your heart. The Bible says this is only our reasonable service, nothing special.[1] The world tells you it is your body, you can do what you want with it. Pierce it, tattoo it, and give it to anybody and everybody without consequences. The world only gives us half-truths; it is true that God has given us free will to choose how we will live. However, there are consequences to our choices. If we choose to have sex without marriage or before we are ready, then we have children that we are not prepared to take care of, this puts us in a position to struggle when we did not have to be. Therefore, by our making that first choice all the other consequences followed. We must learn to choose wisely.
The pressure to follow the world is tremendous and every year it gets more difficult to ignore. Those without proper parental supervision and direction are really going to have a difficult time overcoming temptation. I can only imagine the level of peer pressure to defile yourselves that you encounter daily. Let me say for the record everyone is not defiling themselves despite what the media may report and you do not have to either. If anyone is trying to get you to give up your purity they are not your friends. If someone loves you they will not pressure you to have sex with them. Having sex with someone is not a sign of love, it is lust and of the devil. Sex is not a requirement of love, it is a gift of a loving relationship given to us by God. Sex can and should be a beautiful experience designed by God for the loving confines of marriage. Not some back seat of a car or with someone you hardly know. You are worth more than that. You are beautiful flowers allow yourselves to bloom and blossom.
“Woe to him who gives drink to his neighbor,
pressing him to your bottle, even to make him
drink, that you may look on his nakedness!
Habakkuk 2:15
Do not allow people to cause you to sin through drugs or alcohol. It may appear cool and like the thing to do, but nothing could be further from the truth. There have been countless young women who have been taken advantage of while under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Many of them regret the decisions they made to this day. Your purity is something you can never get back. Once you lose it, it is gone forever. Do not allow yourself to be placed in positions where these things can happen to you. There are predators in this world that only want to take the purity of others as some kind of sick game, you are not human to them merely an object for their own selfish desires and sexual pleasure. Think about it, if your purity were not of any value then why are so many people trying to get it from you?
