What is Emotional Purity?

It took me a long time to understand what Emotional Purity is all about. Even now I seem to be learning new things about it...almost daily.

Emotional Purity is something that I believe God wishes for everyone, yet it is so often overlooked. Emotional Purity is about not allowing your emotions into conversations with the opposite gender. When situations arise that cause emotional reactions it is not time to run off and tell someone of the opposite gender all about these problems. It is time to kneel before the Lord and ask Him for help.

So many times when we are feeling down or hurt we want to feel loved or comforted. We want to know we are wanted and needed. A hug and a smile from the opposite gender seems like just the prescription we need! However, during this time, it is of utmost importance to turn to our Heavenly Father. He loves you more than anything in the whole world, more than your friends, or that guy you like.
