Yes? Okay, but remember, you asked:

Somewhere out there, a dear brother in the Lord has made some serious mistakes in his life and is about to make (or already has made) the biggest mistake yet: tossing away his savior and the brethren for a woman. Maybe you feel like you have to give yourself to her this way to keep her, maybe you’re just not strong enough to say no, maybe she’s even asked you to move in with her and you’re afraid you’ll lose her if you don’t. You have a million excuses why you have to do this, but the truth is you don’t want to lose this girl because she’s so much better than the other girls you’ve given pieces of yourself to.

Brother, this one may not drink, smoke, or do drugs, she may be clean cut, have a good paying job, and may not have shown signs of violence–yet–but she’s still not good enough for you. You deserve better than a woman that doesn’t respect you enough to put a wedding band on your finger before hitting the sack.

Remember that day when you hit your knees and gave your heart to the King of Kings? Remember when he took away your shame? Why have you returned again, like a dog to his vomit? Don’t you know that day the King of Kings adopted you as His own? Brother, you’re a prince, and you deserve to be treated like one. Wait for your princess, Brother, and I don’t care how regal she looks compared to the others, that girl you’ve got isn’t a princess. A true princess won’t ask, or agree, to enter in and become one together anywhere but on the marriage bed.

A true princess is human, yes. Glory knows if not for the grace of God, my prince and I would not have had the strength to wait. Still, a true princess will show remorse when her flesh wins out and go at once to make things right. That pauper masquerading as the princess you’ve been dreaming of is merely taking you deeper into sin and away from our Father with promises afar off. I plead with you, beloved, do not throw away your inheritance for a castle made of sand that cannot stand.
