The Promise
Hey you girls!!!
Alright, for those of you girls who have read books like 'I Kissed Dating Goodbye', and 'When God Writes Your Love Story', etc., you know what this is all about. If you haven't read any of them, go buy one and read it, it's worth it.
I move that we promise to 'protect' guys, by dressing modestly, and not doing, saying, or acting in any way that might bring on feelings in a guy. Let's make a promise to complete purity untill marriage; that means kissing etc. Let's promise not to date the way the world dates, or let our thoughts and emotions go wild on silly 'crushes', and let's promise to let God write our love story. He can bring the perfect guy into our lives at the perfect time in the perfect way. All we have to do is pray for our future husbands, talk to God about how we feel, take our thoughts and feelings about guys, and let go of them; give them to God. Let's promise to use our single years wisely, and not to waste them wishing we 'had found the perfect guy' already. Let's use those years to bring about change in the world for God's sake. He wants us to be ready to serve him at any moment, and what better time is there than while you're still single, and don't have the responsibility of marriage? That will come. :D Now...let's pray.
Dear God,
I know that it won't always be easy, but I pray that you will help me to dress modestly in protection of the guys, and live up to what I'm about to say. God, I promise to you, not to dress immodestly, to keep myself completely pure untill marriage. God, help me to put aside my own desires, and wait to date. I promise to you now to not date in the fashion that the world desires us to, to not put my own 'physical' and 'emotional' needs first, but the needs of others. Help me to not waste my emotions on 'crushes. Help me to remember that you are in control of my love life as well as everything else, help me to give my feelings to you when they come up. I pray that you would help me to use my single years wisely, and use them all to Your glory. I pray that you would help me shape my heart into a servants heart, so I'm willing to use this precious gift of my single years, to wash as many feet as I can; to be a Christ-like servant always. These things I promise to you God, and I pray that you will help me in this endeavour. Keep me accountable to these words always.
Amen.
Will you promise with me?
Sheila
