A Friend for the King (Proverbs 22:11)

Purity is always the best choice for anyone to make. It seems that our society is deceiving its citizens by selling them something less than purity.

"He who loves purity and the pure in heart, and who is gracious in speech, will for the grace of his lips have the king for his friend." Proverbs 22:11, Amplified

Who wouldn't want a king for a friend? Who wouldn't want to cal the King of kings his friend? There are those who have bought into the lie that there is something bette than purity for the body and it is the freedom that one has with his own body. Do you realize that purity has never hurt a soul? Do you realize that purity will never cause one to have an STD or an unwanted pregnancy?
The lie has become so believable that people think that Christians are trying to take something away from them, some experience that they may miss out on. But in truth, purity is the true freedom that one can experience. it is the freedom to not do what everyone else is doing. When we align ourselves with purity, we take the same stance as the Lord on certain issues that seek to defile that purity and innocence. When we align ourselves with the Lord, we make Him our friend. I would much rather have the Lord on my side than Herpes.
