God’s Princesses

I get the amazing opportunity to speak with the young women in our group about God’s design and plan for their lives. I am not usually the one who does the teaching but in this vital time I find it so important to remind ladies that they are all God’s Princesses and deserve the very best He has for them.
We are smack dab in the middle of what some people would say is the dreaded “Sex Series” at youth. I however think it is one of my favorites. I know, seems strange. For me, especially after doing a survey at the beginning, it is very important to speak about. The world today has so many warped views and lies about sex that it is up to families and churches to bring out the truth. It really hurts me to see the results of our survey that 25 out of 66 students feel like it is no big deal to have sex before marriage as long as they are in love. Love, do they even really know what love is?
God has put such a burning in my heart for young women who need to find healing and freedom in knowing that HE is all they need. That when looking for acceptance and identity all that is found in Christ. I never had anyone teach me the importance of purity. I was just taught that sex is bad. There is no truth in that. But the truth needs to brought out and it is time for this generation to rise up and start living the lives they are called to live.
So please, if you think about it this week, pray for the young women who will be at youth Thursday night. Pray that they will find healing and hope. That there would be a freedom they find knowing that they are worth so much more than the world says they are.
I put together a poll, I am very interested in seeing the results, so check it out. And encourage others to take it too!
