A princess of purity

  Every girl wants to be Cinderella right? But fairy tales don’t exist today. Or do they??? 

     So what makes a modern fairy tale? First we need the princess. But what makes a true princess and how will her prince find her?

  

  The Bible says “the King's daughter is all glorious within” (Psalm 45:13). "All glorious within" refers to not only the attitude of the heart but that of the mind and body as well, for how are we to be "glorious within" if we defile our bodies and minds with the things of this world? One of the most important attributes of the King’s daughter is purity. Sadly this is a word that is nearly forgotten in today’s society. Women throw away their purity as though it was a mere trinket of  little worth forgetting that it is the sacred treasure God bestows on us at birth, His gift to be treasured and protected for our husbands. By purity, I am referring to the purity of the whole being: body, mind and heart.

   "Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 

     A true princess will be obedient to God by seeking to honor and serve her husband long before she even knows him. She will guard herself against all defilement in her dress, actions and character. If a young lady is known for being flirtatious and unchaste how is she guarding herself for her husband? She is no princess of purity. A princess of purity will serve her husband with her modesty. Modesty says a lot more then words, it sticks out in this world and gives credit to the woman's character. A princess of purity will seek to dress in such a way that draws attention to her personality rather then her body. She will be an honor and delight to her husband.

 "Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control.."

1 Timothy 2:9 

      A princess of purity must guard her actions and carry herself with chastity and formality. Being friendly yet never allowing herself to stray into flirtation or dishonorable conversation and behavior. 

"A wife of noble character...is worth more then rubies"  
Proverbs 31:10

    Guard your heart through prayer and commitment to your husband. Pray for him every day, preparing you heart and life for him. Build a legacy that will bless and honor him when he calls you his. Wait patiently for your Christlike knight, reserving your gift for him. He will come sooner then most of us think.

"For the glory of God!"
