“If
your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.”
-Elisabeth Elliot
Here at Morning Glory, this is our goal! To be pure
in heart! To love Jesus with our whole hearts! But that’s not a common goal of
teen girls—or humans in general.
Sisters, we’re on a crash collision course with the
world. We will be hated, mocked, and possibly even physically harmed.
Conforming to the world’s standards,
however, is not our goal. Our goal is glorify God by becoming more like Him.
As Matthew 5: 8 says, “Blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God.” That is
far more desirable than being thought “cool” or even “normal” by the world. I
would rather be thought odd in this world—which is not my home—if I get to see
God.
Have you been persecuted—however mildly—for
your faith? What other thoughts or observations do you have of this quote?
