Chapter five goes something like this....
Chapter Five
Feminine Mystique
We humans get eerily protective of things sometimes. For instance, we will break an arm to preserve a dried-up wad of gum that once inhabited the smacking jowls of Brad Pitt. We'll spend hundreds of dollars on eBay to buy a signed baseball that was used in the World Series. We will go to extreme lengths to protect and preserve things that we perceive as having great value.
Believe it or not, this human tendency was given to us by God for an important purpose. But sin has warped and twisted it, teaching us to claw for worthless mementos while we trample underfoot everything that is truly sacred. When our Prince takes ownership of our lives, one of the first things He does is recalibrate our sense of value. I guess you could say He puts Brad's wad of gum into it proper place (the trash can!) and trains us to go to extreme lengths to protect and preserve these supremely valuable things.
As set-apart young women, we must learn to guard on thing above all others: our sacred inner sanctuary. This holy chamber is the residence of our Prince; it is His imprint upon our souls. It is there that we meet Him; it is there that we share our love with Him. we must consider the value of maintaining this set-apart atmosphere for the Prince worthy of our very lives. For when our sanctuary is preserved, so is our love relationship with Christ. And there is absolutely nothing more valuable than that!
