Be Covered

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.
