Young maiden, listen True, you are lovely You have learned how your beauty has power No one can deny your desirability But you must learn its place It is a gift to you and a husband A man in your future, not today One who will honor you, lead you, protect you Dazzling as it may be The visage of your bared form Is poison to me and others It is death to any man but a husband for you And your willingness to display it Is death to you Be still and look inside If you will be true you will see Behind the lying voice that says it feels good That doing this makes you feel self-worth Lurks the voice that you have no worth It drives you to try to feel worthwhile Groping for a sense of value But feeling valuable is not something you can make It is something you can only receive This display is not the answer It only builds your sense of worthlessness Precious daughter, creation of God Turn from this way Don't wound yourself this way Cease to tempt others to devour you What stirs in them is not love It wounds you, it wounds them Save your beauty for love The splendor God gave you for a husband One who considers you so worthwhile That he will wait for your love That you are worth committing himself to Worth giving himself up for Only then will the mystery you seek be opened Only then can you drink of love's fountain And know the truth of why you were made beautiful Stephen Pursell, 9/04 If you are a woman in search of love that fills an emptiness in your soul then please open your heart to the love of the Lord Jesus Christ who died for you to give you eternal life and love beyond your imagination and pray this Prayer To Receive Eternal Salvation. God bless you. |   |
