Yellow Lights: Be Cautious

We don’t often realize the harm that we put ourselves and others in by speeding through yellow lights. We think, rather carelessly, that those yellow lights aren’t exactly red lights, so we don’t have to stop. Yet, countless accidents are caused each year by this act of recklessness.

I was thinking today, and reading a book by Leslie Ludy, in that she describes appropriate action towards Christian men who are single, and attractive. She gives guidelines that you can read for yourself, because I don’t have time to type it all out.

But, as far as guys go, we tend to be careless. Think about it…

I’ve walked in countless churches and seen girls and guys touching each other, tackling, hugging (full body), and so forth. That’s not okay. I’m sorry but no man, until he proves that he is Christ-centered, is going to touch me. I’m not OCD, or anything like that, but I have a bubble.

I realize just how powerful touch can be. And, I am probably one of the minority of women who are visual so, I understand what the whole tackling and sitting on guys laps does to men. Yes, even Christian men.

“It doesn’t matter if you think that you might one day marry the guy that you are getting to know. Until God makes it clear that this is your life-long covenant marriage partner, live as if you (and he) both belong to someone else. If you engage in sensual touch prior to entering that sacred covenant, you dishonor God’s perfect design and leave yourselves wide open for the enemy to ravage the beauty and nobility of your relationship.” –Leslie Ludy

My body is a temple for the Lord, and I pray to keep it in all holiness for the man who God knows will cherish my heart.

So on a physical level, don’t speed through those yellow lights with any guy. It’s dangerous.

Be cautious, and I promise God will reward your patience.

PLEASE, don’t give any room for temptation to creep in. Dress in a way that honors God, act in a way that promotes purity, and speak encouragement.

I’m waiting faithfully as the end of Day 1 of my 40 day fast comes to an end. :)
