Emotional Modesty

"A woman who is well-kept
"A woman who keeps her secret
"A woman who is in love with the Lord
   What a great comfort, what a great resolve
    to be all for Christ.
  "Joyfully single, content and glowing
   In love, satisfied in Christ."

             This was my prayer after our GBC night singles fellowship at our student center.  Is it possible to be joyfully single? Singleness is a curse that most people think is hard to bear. When I share or state that I am single and I never had a boyfriend since birth people will get curious, annoyed or shocked. As if it is a curse  yet I am not surprised with the different responses that I get from people.

            I praise the Lord for the great confidence He has given me to truly see myself in His reflection and truly gaze upon His being as my true and real significance. I praise the Lord for the preservation He has allowed in my life, for it is grace alone.

          We had our singles fellowship at the center. It is my first time to attend the fellowship with the GBC singles. The topic we had was about modesty and I was greatly reminded and rebuked with the holy manner we should present ourselves as the bride of Christ. To be modest in the manner of clothing, not stumbling  people, to be holy in all manner  of conversation, to be upright, to be modest. A woman who is well-kept, hidden in the chest of Christ. Yet with the physical bars of modesty. I contemplated with the modesty of the heart. Is there such thing as that?

Emotional Modesty.

      Maybe at some point  we have not flaunt our physical selves to men to be devoured but how about our hearts? Is our hearts still whole? or is it broken, torn and been used and abused for leisure. Have we been careful with our hearts? with our emotions? Have we been discreet with our responses, in our actions towards delivering right signals? Have we been a well-kept woman?

     Maybe we have been, maybe we are not. In some point of our lives, we have given a parcel of ourselves to someone. We have given our hearts to someone who is not God's will for us. We have been immodest with our hearts. Yet, God's grace abounds to us in a manner of letting go and surrender. It beckons us to restore once more our hearts and give it back to Him. And every time we do, His great heart is open and willing to heal our hearts to be His again.

~Isaiah 61:03
         He makes beauty out of ashes
         He makes us
         He restores...

    Apart from Christ, we are not a good safe keeper of our hearts. Apart from the Holy Spirit,we are not able to guard our hearts, So instead  let Him in. Let Christ safe guard your heart, make it modest, holy and pure for our Heavenly groom, our eternal lover, our Great God patiently waits.
