A Purity So Bright the World Marvels By: Sarah Mally

Hello Everyone!  I am sorry I have not been on for so long. I hope I will be able to post more often after this. This post I got from the book, Before You Meet Prince Charming   By Sarah Mally.  If you have never read this book I highly reccommend it. It's a great one.   It talks alot about purity and courtship and dating and many more interesting topics.  I hope you find this encouraging and helpful.
The Cake:
Suppose you made a beautiful birthday cake.  It was rich chocolate cake with homeade vanilla frosting. You spent all afternoon taking the time to make sure it was flawless. You decorated it carefully with frosting, flowers, leaves, and lettering, and added a few cherries for the final touch. Then, enjoying the aroma of a freshly baked chocolate cake, you left it on the counter so that it would be ready for the birthday party.
The suppose I came along, saw the cake, and feeling a little hungry, decided to cut a piece for my self. Just as I was eating my last bite, you returned to the counter and found your beautiful cake- with a piece missing. So much for all your work making sure each detail of every flower looked perfect. As far as you are concerned, the cake is ruined. There's not time to make a new one. How will it look when you serve it at the party? After all your meticulous work to make it just perfect, how would you feel about my careless attitude?  What if I suggested that you bake another piece of cake to fill in the empty space? Obviously, my advice would irritate you even more.  " Of course not,"  you'd say. "The cake is ruined. It will never look the same again."
 A Proverbs 31 woman will do her husband good,not evil, all the days of her life.(Prov. 31:12). One of the best ways that you can do good to your future husband today,even if you don't know him yet, is by protecting your heart so that it will be completely his. Your heart is a priceless treasure that you are saving for one. How will your future husband feel if you have already given pieces of your heart to others and can offer him only a partly-eaten cake? He wants a cake baked just for him, not one with pieces missing that others have tasted first. He wants the whole thing-not just part. One day you will long to give him your whole heart-but in order to give it later,you must protect it now.

Note from me:
I love this illustration. It is a great example showing how we should remain pure for the day when we will give ourselves away to that special someone. Just think, you would be very hurt if you had found out that he had already given pieces himself away before he had come to you.
Hopefully I will be righting more from this book later on. I hope you enjoyed it.
