I walked inside the Jewelry Store, Pandora with hesitation and no intention of buying anything. I loved looking at the beauty of Jewelry, especially wedding rings. They gave me hope that marriage was still possible for me. The lady at the counter kindly greeted me and offered her assistance. As I briefly spoke with her, a heart-shaped diamond ring captured my eyes. I could not resist the precious diamonds that blinged and brought such great excitement to my Spirit. Almost every girl's dream is to own a diamond ring. I walked out of Pandora with a ring on my right hand and a Kool-Aid smile. What was the ring symbolic for and why did I feel the need to purchase it today?
The ring isn’t for a show or fashion but it’s a symbol of my Faith and the commitment I made to Yahweh. It has been 3 years since I vowed to remain abstinent until marriage. Being abstinent isn’t just about waiting for a spouse, but drawing near to Yahweh while you are waiting. Throughout these 3 years, Yahweh has revealed so many things to me that I needed to work on. I’ve been tempted by counterfeits and even stepped outside of the Will of Yahweh. I am so thankful that Yahweh gave me the strength to remain abstinent.
Your body is a temple for the Holy Spirit to dwell in. We have to be mindful of what we are allowing in our Spirit. When you’re abstaining from sexual immorality, you are giving your YES to Yahweh. Abstinence is an act of faith. Yahweh wants us to honor Him with our body.
“I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.” (Psalms 119:10 NIV)
The very thing you desire or have been praying for, the enemy will send the counterfeit version of that thing! My prayer is “Yahweh remove every counterfeit that tries to present itself like the real thing, in Yeshua’s name!” I don’t know how long you’ve been waiting but trust and believe that if you’re still waiting, Yahweh must still be preparing you and your spouse. Take advantage of the waiting season. During this time draw closer to Yahweh, go back to school, exercise more, maintain a healthy routine, etc. Do whatever Yahweh has placed on your heart. Your waiting season is not in vain. You may be waiting on Yahweh but He may be waiting on you!
