Purity {Diamond Clarity}

How can a young person stay pure? By obeying Your word. -Psalm 119:9

When I was waiting for Daniel to propose to me I did a lot of research on diamond rings. I found one factor that determines the cost of a diamond is its clarity (how pure it is). There are diamonds that have small flaws inside them. These have low clarity (aren't pure), so they aren't as expensive even if they are pretty large. On the flip side, if you get a small diamond that has high clarity, it can be very expensive.

We are God's diamonds. Look in your heart today for the flaws you have, and work on getting those out. God's Word will help purify our hearts if we obey Him. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit - how are we treating His temple?

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. -Galtaians 2:20

Lord, help me to walk in purity today. Help me guard my mind and body against anything that would not glorify You. Teach me your Word so that I can stay pure while I am young. Give me strength to fight against temptation.
