Purity.....o so clean!

Purity is a foreign word in today's world. Today young men and women lose their purity as young as the age of 12. And some don't even know what purity means!
Well the root word "pure" simply means clean, very very clean! Meaning there is no dirt or evil thing on it, it is pure! At the age of 12 I was taken on a vacation with my mother, and she taught me about purity, and how important it really is! Purity is not just for women either, its for men too! It is hard to remain pure, it is probably harder to remain mentally pure than physically in many ways, seeing as we can imagine just about anything in our minds! I can honestly say that I am not mentally pure, so God has had to cleanse my mind many times!
Purity comes in many forms, Sexually, Mentally, Actions, and words. 1 Timothy 4:12 tells us that we are to be an example to the believers, one of the examples being, you guessed it, Purity! God wants us to be pure, set apart from the men and women in this world, who do not strive for purity, but for pleasure! Cause as the Bible tells us in Hebrew 11:24-25, Moses would rather suffer the afflictions of being a Christian, rather than sinning for a season!
What I hope you get from this Christian, is that we need to strive to be pure! When we say something ask ourselves, is this pure? When we do something, ask ourselves, is this pure? When we think about something, again, ask ourselves, is this pure? It is true Christian, that we are far from perfect, and we struggle with purity! But God is there, watching us, hoping that we strive for purity, even when we are tempted beyond any other! So Christian, think pure,feel pure, look pure, and remember what Jesus did for you, so that you might live! God Bless and thanks for reading!
