“treat younger women with all purity/ respect as you would your own sisters”
1 Timothy 5:2  

Are you a man with a beautiful daughter?   Have you ever noticed how easy it is to allow your eyes to wander toward  an attractive young woman who is not your daughter and find yourself in danger of slipping into ungodly thoughts?    Have you then noticed that you are disgusted, even angry, at the thought of another male viewing your daughter that way?      

Every woman is some man’s daughter.  

Every woman is God’s daughter.     

Perhaps the truest measure of a man is whether or not he treats all women as worthy of complete honor as a daughter of God, a woman with a father who values her more deeply than you could ever imagine, a woman whose infinite worth must be protected valued and defended.    

Any young man or old man who has not begun to learn to value all women in this way is neither ready for a relationship nor for marriage.   Any young woman or older woman who reduces herself to the object of any man’s needs has diminished herself to something far less than God’s cherished and beloved daughter.
