Him Whom I have not seen, I love » Purity

Rosebud

~Bryant — Sat, 25 Aug 2007 18:57:00 +0000

And so it is with many fair maidens. Their beauty is never fully seen, for they wait not until the proper time.
Their heart is opened prematurely.
Their fragrance and beauty that was intended for the proper time is lost or damaged forever.

You must understand how easily a heart can be stolen.

You must purpose to be a white and pure rose~a bud that is still closed and one that will not give away the key to her heart until the time be right.

Devote yourself to the business of your Heavenly Father. Learn to lay down your life for others. In so doing, you will be prepared for the noblest and bravest of knights,

and no rose will be sweeter or more beautiful than thee.

-Sarah Mally

Femininity

~Bryant — Sat, 24 Mar 2007 20:06:00 +0000

“Femininity has a strange effect on the outside world. To our lost culture, it is foreign, but it is fascinating. It inspires awe and respect. It can even inspire today’s feminized men to be manly, protective and chivalrous. Never underestimate the power of godly femininity.”

It is so interesting to see how differently women are treated when they dress and act femininely. I love it when I am at our local shopping mall and am wearing a long, flowing skirt, and guys look at me, look down at my skirt, then back up at me and smile. I smile back, and thank the Lord that my parents have taught me how to dress purely, happily, femininely.

“Never underestimate the power of godly femininity.”

An oyster…

~Bryant — Wed, 21 Feb 2007 02:28:00 +0000

Although outward beauty may be seen
all painted on with a brush so fair
its shallowness can be revealed
in our actions unaware,
But inner beauty is much more rare
and it comes from God above
It is shown in how we act
and how we show His love.
Like an oyster in the ocean
its outer shell so plain and dull
but when you look inside of it
there’s a pearl so beautiful.
I hope to be like the oyster
when you look inside you’ll see
a heart so warm and beautiful
and see God’s love inside of me.

Part 1

Part 2

The Rebelution’s Modesty Survey results are out! I have really enjoyed looking at them, and hope many young ladies will do the same!

The Fashion

~Bryant — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 23:06:00 +0000

Young men often laugh at the sensible girls whom they
secretly respect, and affect to admire the silly ones whom they secretly
despise, because earnestness, intelligence, and womanly dignity are not the
fashion.

~An Old-Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott

The Modesty Survey

~Bryant — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 02:41:00 +0000

“How tight is too tight for tops?

What about skirt slits?”

Join other Christian young men and women in TheRebelution’s new project: The Modesty Survey. The Modesty Survey allows any girl to submit anonymous, modesty-related questions to Christian guys and to receive (multiple) anonymous replies.

GIRLS: How To Submit Your Questions

If would like to submit your question(s) for inclusion in the survey, please email them to the Female Survey Coordinator, Katrina Rowe: jesusfreakatrina@yahoo.com. They must be received by Friday, December 15th, to be considered for inclusion in the survey. You really may submit any question provided that it relates to the topic of modesty. If you would lik to join the forum, you can go to The Attic, the Girls Only area, and you will be directly involved in any discussions which take place in the process of conducting the survey.

GUYS: How To Get Involved

If would like to help respond to the girl’s questions please begin by signing up for the the forum and joining the Guys Only area: The Garage. The Garage will serve as “brainstorm central” for the male side of The Modesty Survey.This is an opportunity for you to serve your sisters in Christ. Many girls do not have fathers or brothers to advise them in this area. They need input from godly men regarding what is appropriate and what is not. On the other hand, as Christian young men, this is an opportunity for you to educate Christian women regarding your inner-battle so that they won’t unwittingly contribute to your struggle. If you have ever wanted to tell a girl to go put something else on, you can do so — anonymously.

Help Make It Happen

Please help spread the word about The Modesty Survey. Feel free to tweak this post and republish it on your own blog (which is what I did :-), or send it as an email to any friends who you think would be interested in participating. Also, you can place a sidebar ad on your website or blog.

Girls, please tell your brothers about this survey!
