PURITY Gracie couldn't wait to turn 18 eventhough there was nothing exceptional about being 18 in Nigeria except she was eligible to drive and vote according to African customs she was still under her parents, that was totally not how she planned her own life. First thing she intended to do when she turned 18 was to stop attending the church her parents attended all her life she'd never really understood why here family church didn't let them wear jewerly, perm their hair and even placed restrictions on what cloth not to wear, she never really understood the concept but kept to it any way because at least she still lived under her parent, she never really understood the whole Jesus concept but on the outside she was religiously dresses for heaven while on the inside she was a rebel waiting for a chance to be free, truth be told she was only in school because everyone else was in school what she really wanted to be was a stripper she had even began practising pole dancing and even reading pornographic articles and even watching them, if you had a conversation with her you'd not need a soothsayer to tell you the whole dressing thing was simply a show off it wasn't really who she was worse is she doesn't hid to do any of what she does, she obeys the church's instructions so her family has no need to worry but inside was the real gracie the stripper, the proud porn addict waiting to break free. Sometime ago i did an article on purity which segun a friend of mine posted on his blog as a guest post. However i just had to do another article on purity. I actually don't like to beat an issue severally but this is one of those issues i have to make an exception with. Honestly for years now a lot of us have focused on the wrong side regarding purity- the rules, i guess its high time we break free from these only skirt, 6 inches below the knees skirt, no make up, no jewerly no dating, group courtship,e.t.c and begin to focus on what really matters-the heart. Even the bible says out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh, i personally like to interprete it as from the heart proceedes all our actions, meaning all we do shows the condition of our heart. So if our heart are pure we would naturally live a life of purity.
