One focus of this theme is to learn how to develop healthy and God-honoring relationships by first focusing on becoming the person God wants each of us to be. Healthy and safe relationships are so important and vital for the well being of a single woman.
In pursing sexual purity, a single woman is putting herself under God’s blessing. How many of us hope God will guard us from calamity and misery, while every day we make small, seemingly inconsequential immoral choices that inch us toward bigger immoralities? When God calls on us to pursue purity, we are not being asked to do what will deprive us of joy. It is God’s protection for us.
You have the opportunity to bring some clarity and hope for single women as you look at what God says and share your experiences with them. This is a topic we avoid, but so many women need to talk about this with an older and wiser woman. You could set each woman on a course for which each of them and their families will always be grateful.
