Here's the place to do it!

Dear guys,

I've been so encouraged by the letters written to girls that I thought I would write one for you. Firstly, thanks for reminding me that there are strong Christian guys out there that are committed to living God's way, even when it comes to romance in a very sex-saturated culture.  Thanks for respecting us girls, for saving yourself for your wife. I'm doing the same for you.

And may I just encourage you in something? I've heard that as a guy, it can be very difficult to be the head and take the lead in relationships. But please, please, step out in faith and try anyway!  I'm not saying to ask out any and every girl - certainly not! - but when you find one that might be the one you want to marry, be the man and do your part to ask and lead the relationship. A girl striving for Biblical womanhood does not want, and will not accept, a guy who tries to make her lead. If you get rejected, I know that's part of the risk, but if it turns out that the girl is the one for you, she will respect you infinitely more for your courage. Keep fighting the fight, brothers!

I am so encouraged to know that there are actually guys out there commited to purity. I've always known there were but I don't really know any. Seeing all of you out there who do care about this is just great for me. I pray for all of you out there who might be struggling, it's hard but keep it up! Us girls really do appreciate and you don't even know how much it means to us. I know from personal experience that when a guy we like is "checking out" another girl or talking about her, no matter how much we know it doesn't mean anything (or sometimes we don't know) it HURTS. It breaks our hearts. That's how much it means, and I thank you all, sincerely, for this commitment that you are making.

I THANK YOU!

In Christ,
MJ

P.S. Read this again, but read it with emotion, because that's how I wrote it.

Dear Guys,

I am 15 years old and have saved myself for my future husband all of my life. It is so good to know that there are guys out there who care. When you save yourself for your future wife, it shows her that you love her. We need to tell the world about this and get the word out. Jesus has shown me many things through being pure not only to mfh (my future husband), but to Him. If you read Song of Songs and Revelations you will see that we will have a wedding day with the King.

52) 6/4/08 - Candace (15), Illinois, USA

Hey Knights,

It's so great to know that their are guys out there that are staying pure for their future wives and for God. I have to admit that lately I have not seen that many guys that love God and appreciate girls who are saving themselves for their future husbands.

It's all very dishearting when you see all of the girls that think that dressing slutty is how to attract guys. You guys really have no idea what influence you have over us girls. Please all of you great guys do your best to convince girls around you that you appreciate modesty and that they don't have to dress provocatively to get attention.

I know that there are nice guys out their that love God. What I look for most in a guy is his love for God! I want my future husband (whoever he is) to love God more than me.

Good luck knights on your quest for purity.

Candace

To all my brothers!

First of all, I want to say 'thank you'. I know that although what you do daily is not easy, God will definitely bless and reward you for staying true and strong!

I also want to remind you that what you do is not unseen. Even if no one else may appreciate the struggle you may be in, God knows and cares! And right now, I'm so proud of you all!

Finally, for those who are worried aobut being single, or being thought of as weird, or those who are finding that the armour of a knight is getting just that bit heavy, remember to hold on and wait upon the Lord! God's timing is always best and right on time. When He wills, He'll bless you beyond belief. So just keep on!

With love and prayers,
Lydia, your sister in Christ!

It is so awesome to know that there are guys out there committed to purity!  Sometimes it can get discouraging, but keep on!  Thanks for being a PurityGuy! :D

49) 5/23/08 - Cassie (19), North Carolina, USA

To the dudes of GOD:
Thank you for choosing to be a quarter of the population that stays pure and follows GOD with their whole heart. You prove that it can and will be done. I pray for ya'll everyday and only hope that this ongoing fight against the world becomes easier.

To my husband:
I already have fallen in love with you even though I have not met you. If GOD chose you to be the one I am going to live my whole life with then I know you're the one my heart will go to 100%. I live my life everyday like I will meet you and I pray at least everyday that it will be the day that I do. I cant imagine the love I will have for you. GOD has done such amazing things in my life and I have a strong feeling you will be the most amazing. Getting married to my soul mate has been my dream since I was little and I am only praying it will be any day now that I can finally meet you face to face. Wow I really can't imagine how that is going to feel when I see your face. I truly believe that when I see you, GOD will tell me and I am looking forward to that. Know that I am praying for you and I care for you even if you have never met me. I love you.

48) 5/13/08 - Mandy (16), California, USA

Dear Future Husbands,

Thank you for choosing to follow God in his calling to wait. You are not alone! I find that a man who chooses to keep a promise to God and his future wife is not only honorable, but incredibly romantic. God has a special plan for you and your future wife as you wait. Stay strong and stay pure!

Your Sister in Christ,

Mandy

47) 5/8/08 - Abby (14), Canada

Hey guys - you're so amazing! It's so rare to find guys who at least care about leading a pure life - and I'm sure you guys more than care about it - you're commiting to it!! I respect you so much. I hope to marry someone like you - pure!

46) 5/1/08 - Kyla (13), Texas, USA

Dear guys,

You don't know how much I appreciate you all on this site. It is wonderful to see your opinions about the importance of modesty, purity, etc.

Sometimes I find it is hard to keep going on the course I feel God has called me to, but then I remember the Modesty Survey, and the opinions I have seen expressed on here, and it makes it easier for me to keep going on the path of purity.

To my future husband- if you're reading this, know that I am saving myself for you, and that I hope you are doing the same. I hope to be a one in a billion for you.

~Kyla

Hey all you Godly men out there!

I just want you all to know that you're amazing, you guys are the kind of knights in shining armor that this world needs, reall men to take a stand and be pure and protect girls and their purity as well. I just want to say that I truly admire you guys for remaining pure, I believe that it can be a lot harder for a guy to remain pure because they are visual beings and I know that it is not easy, so you guys are incredabley strong!!! God has amazing women that He made just for you, so just remember that when everyone else is having the fun "for a season", you'll be having it your whole life!

43) 02/20/07 - Clair (15), Pensylvania, USA

Hey guys!

I think it is so awesome that you are keeping yourselves pure in heart and in mind! You probably don't know it or don't really pay attention but you guys are a really big influence on us girls. I pray that God will give me a godly husband! I am an actress and when I run across a true godly man that I act with it is really amazing! We need you guys so much! Trust God in all that you do and maybe one day you will find your princess :)

Pray for us girls too!

42) 02/16/07 - Emily (15), Virginia, USA

Hey all!

I've just finished reading some of your letters and some are real tear jerkers! I am so glad that there are so many guys out there who are just as committed to purity as I am. I've always been homeschooled, and I've never had a boyfriend. I personally think that's kind of neat. it means that most likely my first boyfriend will be my husband! it's really exciting! naturally I don't know a whole lot about what you guys go through, but I'd like to ask you, no, entreat you to keep on. It is so neat when I meet a guy who I can talk too without feeling uncomfortable. And to all you guys who have never met a purity girl, we are out there! it might take a bit of searching, but you will find one. And just for the record, whenever you see a girl sitting or standing by herself, go up and talk to her! most likely she'll appreciate it more than you will ever know. and who knows? maybe she's the one. Thank you for your purity and your prayers. Your future wife will soooo appreciate and love you for them!

Your Sis,

Em

Thank you for helping to guard our hearts and for keeping yourselves set apart for your future wives by committing yourselves to purity.

40) 02/03/07 - Jana (17), Oklahoma, USA

Dear Guys,

I just wanted to tell you that the girls out there today want a bold, Christian leader. One we can depend on and who will challenge our faith in Christ. I know it's tempting to sit back and just fit in with the crowd, but I have a hunch that that probably isn't God's will for you. He wants to use you and He can only do that if you are willing to let Him use you. Seek after His heart and strive with all of your heart to be like Him. I know we live in a messed up society, and it's hard to be pure sometimes. But with God all things are possible.

Praying for all of you,

Jana

39) 02/01/07 - Casey (22), California, USA

Wow, goodness! Where do I start? first of all I would love to thank the creators of this site for truly hearing the Lord and trying to make a difference. In a time where I just needed some encouragement I found this site. For a long time commitment to Purity and being set apart have been a big part of my life. Recently through some persecution and heartbreak from someone I thought loved me, I realized how passionate about purity I really am. I felt like God was calling his daughters to respect themselves again, so now i'm writting a book and I want to do everything i can to encourage young girls in their purity, for God themselves and for their future husbands, and that is my ministry.

I cannot for the moment think of any words that can describe how appreciative,proud, and happy I am for everyone of you gentlemen (and I don't use that word lightly) on this site that have commited yourselves to Purity.

I thank you abundantly for the respect that you show to the women in your lives and for giving me hope. In a world that has persecution at every turn, it takes one who has much strength and faith in the Lord to go against the crowd. Sometimes it is hard to go it alone so I am glad that you all have this site for support.

I just wanted all of you to know that your efforts are not unseen. I appreciate being respected and loved by you as your sister in christ but most importantly your obedeince to his word is seen by God.

Don't ever compromise,there is no compromise with God, he is the same yesterday, today and tommorow. And if someone tells you to compromise your beliefs in order to prove to them that you love them,then that person doesn't really love you, remember that and keep up the good fight.

Luv, your sis

Guys, Men, Christ-like Figures,

I gotta say God Bless you all!! You have no idea how amazing it is that you have stayed so strong in God's power and grace to keep your purity for your future wife, and especially for God. I've met and know about a handful of guys like you, mostly married now, but theres not many guys out there, but I tell you it is so worth it. Kick the devil out everytime he deceits or tempts you into somethin impure; losing your virginity is something that can never be restored and it's just not worth it. I also want to say that I've been praying for a Christ-like man for a while now, and with me not having a boyfriend it's been kind of easy because I've been focusing just on school work and life. But overall, it's not easy to wait and wait and wait, but I know it is so worth it in the end. Please don't keep your purity to yourself, don't be ashamed and don't give up. There are so many girls that want a guy just like you, most of them have made mistakes and long for that but can't get up to gear, and others and waiting patiently. My purity is my committment to God and all of you young guys. Hope you'll take this to heart. (How awesome would it be if one of you, on this very website, was my future husband?lol)

God Bless

Hey to all those purity guys, or maybe to some guy that is just checking the site out!

Let me just take a few moments and encourage you not to give up!

Don't settle for just any girl...

Keep working for the Lord, and just maybe, there will be a companion who will just join right in and help you even more! If getting married to someone will help in furthering God's kingdom, that could be a definite sign that maybe it's God's will, but also think: "if I marry this girl, will I be able to serve God more or less by us being together?" Also, don't try to be cool at the expense of your standards! Keep them high, and a good girl will probably notice!

Stay with it guys, your sister in Christ!

Allison

36) 01/01/07 - Jean (16), Colorado, USA

Hey Guys, just another chic saying that I think your stand for purity is absolutely amazing. Sometimes it's hard to believe that there are still guys out there that actually want a girl for more than sex. I am homeschooled but I took a college course last semester and met some guys that let's just say didn't have all their ideas in line. I was reading the letters on the Purity Girls site and it was so encouraging to find out (again!) that not all guys are perverts.

Keep standing strong. I know you guys go through a lot and I love ya for it if you can keep yourself pure. (How do I know this stuff? Because I have a couple of guy friends that I am really close to and we're pretty open with each other. They're kind of my big brothers.)
A lot of Christian girls seem to have a hard time saying the word "sex" around guys, but not me! Let's be honest and help each other out and build each other up. If that means saying "the s-word" so be it. If you can save sex for marriage and not give in during your weak moments, then you have my highest respect.

A word on how guys dress: I don't care how tight a guy's shirt is b/c that really doesn't bother me, but PLEASE PULL YOUR PANTS UP! It's so gross when they're hanging halfway off your butt and most girls don't really care to know what color of boxers you're wearing today! We'll dress modestly for you and how about you do the same for us?
Stick with it and it will be worth the wait.

Love in Christ

Jean

35) 12/31/06 - Emily (16), Colorado, USA

Hey Guys, I just wanted to let you know that I think it's really awesome that you're saving yourself for your future wife. I admire that comittment more than words can say b/c it's hard for us girls to stay pure too. Especially when everyone around you is talking about sex and don't ya just hate hearing the details? Anyway, I know it won't be easy for you, but I'm sure it will be worth the wait. One of my Christian friends (a guy) told me to be careful b/c "Stuff happens soo fast." So I'll repeat that message to you. Guard your hearts and bodies with all that you have and I think that for each of us who saves themself for their future spouse, we'll be getting one of the greatest gifts of all time on our wedding nights.

Some people look down on me b/c I have my own sense of style and dress differently. For me, the most important thing about how I dress is just keeping it modest b/c I want to help all you guys out. And trust me, the two guys who are like my brothers sure get on my case if they think I'm dressed immodestly. So yeah, as hard as it may be to believe, there are still "weird" girls out there like me who try to dress to help you out and who are saving our bodies for our husbands.

On dating, I'm only a high school junior. Never had a boyfriend, never been kissed. I try not to stress over stupid stuff like that. My friends and I talk about the dating issue all the time and while I will date if the right guy comes along and I feel like God says "okay" I know it's not for everyone and I've seen a lot of my friends hurt.

Stay strong, guys. And honestly, girls love a guy who knows what really shouldn't be said and then keeps his mouth shut! And yes, I know that a lot of girls dress for you (not in the right way!) and it's sad, but I even see it at my church. Stay strong and I am definitely praying for you.

Your sister in Christ,

Emily

34) 12/28/06 - Morgan (13), Maryland, USA

Hey guys, I am so glad that you have commited to stay pure. It is very rare to find guys who have commited to do that. Especially in my school. It is an encouragement to other guys too. You keep sticking too the stuff, and God will bless you. Your future wife will really appreciate it.

God bless,

Morgan

33) 12/28/06 - Andrea (16), Canada

Dear Purity Guys,

Well I am new to this site and have just been reading some of the letters you have written and i felt much more hopeful that there are amazing males out there staying pure. I just recently turned 16, and i got to tell you 16 aint an easy age. I guess you could say i was one of the lucky few girls who never really struggled with dressing appropriately or wearing tons of makeup. It just isn't my thing. But there was times when thoughts came into my head thinking why do I even bother? Why do i make the effort to dress modestly when everyone i know including christians don't? I know quite a few Christian girls who are older then me who i looked up to , who let me down in the whole modesty area. But after reading the letters from you guys it was really encouraging to know how much you appreciate it. I guess i never realized how much of a difference it made. But now that I know, i will continue to do so and encourage all my other girl friends to do so. Its exciting to know that my future husband could be reading this:) Wherever you are I want you to know that i already love you, i'm saving my heart, mind, and body for you. But for now I'm focused on Falling in love with Jesus, my ultimate groom:)

32) 12/25/06 - Christin (14), Massachusetts, USA

Hey I just love to look at this site to see that there are so many guys committed. Lots of girls have said this, but- BE PATIENT. I'll be worth it in the "long run". God WILL lead you to the most wonderful woman for you and she's worth waiting for. Keep your eye on the prize!

31) 12/24/06 - Skylar (16), Ohio, USA

I just wanted to add my voice to the others here: Thank you so so much!!! I just discovered PurityGirls/Guys today and I am incredibly encouraged. It is so hard to find anyone, guy or girl, who is committed to totally waiting for their future spouse...but it is so much rarer, it seems, to find a guy. I read the letters posted for the PurityGirls and it was so overwhelmingly sweet and amazing that I teared up and would have been bawling if my brother hadn't have come in demanding to know why the light bulb blew. So, just to let you know, if you're out there, my husband--I am joyously waiting for you! And guys, thank you for your committment to your wife. I promise that she will appreciate it so much. God bless.

30) 12/22/06 - Bethany (21), California, USA

Thank you for you commitment to purity! I believe it is the most manly thing to do especially considering how our current culture is so against it. I am a film student so I spend a lot of time studying popular art and culture. It breaks my heart the way that our society has defined men and women are almost solely by their "sexiness". Thank you for choosing to go against this cultural trend. (And just so you know, girls DO notice when a man especially a young man makes a stand in this area.) May God grant you much strength to persevere!

28) 12/11/06 - Rebecca (19), Washington, USA

Men of Christ,

Thank you for waiting until God sends the perfect wife for you. It's truly amazing to find a site like this that is comprised of Godly men. You are a blessing to the girls around you because of who you want to be. It is encouraging to see that out there there is guys waiting for God to bring that special someone into their lives. I thank you for standing with God in this.

I pray that you will continue with your commitment until God brings that special person into your life and that you will not be lead astray by Satan.

Your sis in Christ,

Rebecca

27) 12/09/06 - Samantha (18), California, USA

To my dear brothers in Christ,

Praise God for all of you! You are living testimony of our King! May He bless all of you and lavish His grace on you - the grace to press on in Him and to pursue a relationship with our awesome God. Be encouraged! What the world may deem a waste of time, I assure you God will reward. Oh if only you could know how pleased with you He already is!

Be bringers of and the image of Christ in this world! This world cries out for men like you. You know something that is so cool about our God? He cares! He cares about the things and issues you yourselves care about. He is the God of justice, of power, of restoration, and His message is ALIVE. I hope that you would see that His words are not these dusty 2000+year old words, but they are at hand, ablaze and powerful even in this present time.

Would you be encouraged, my brothers! Yes, there ARE girls who are waiting for men like you! God is perfecting all of us into His image. Please, be patient and do not lose hope. Take for example my best friend and my love-- he told me once that he figured he was repulsive to women anyway and that he didn't think they'd like him, the ones who mattered anyway. I had become disgusted at men who would only care about what I looked like, who would tell me I was beautiful even before they knew who I WAS inside and it actually made me start hating men because I thought that that's all they would see, not who I really was. But in the midst of that, God showed me that there WERE men who were unlike that - one of them, my bestfriend. He liked me from the start, but respected me, did not take advantage of me or my heart and it just blew me away. So many times I pushed him away even when I loved him because of my own fears and shortcomings but I saw how God worked in his heart and truly made him and his love a bearer of Christ.

He told me about how he felt like he had to be strong all the time, that he felt like he couldn't show weakness, and that he felt pathetic even just crying, but I'm telling you what I told him- you don't have to feel like you have to be strong all the time, I'm not asking you to

Let Christ be your strength.

He told me of the mistakes he'd made in the past, of sexual sin and the like, and I cried so hard because it was painful to hear all this, but I don't think I've ever loved him more than those moments we were real with each other, that we took off masks of strength, of being perfect. He is still combating this stronghold in this life, but I assured him that I was going to be there with him through it all.

Him: I may have been feeling awkward, but only when you asked me if I was still struggling with that... because I still feel a sort of shame about it, I guess... but it's something I need to get over because as long as it remains "shameful" (and hidden) it will never be taken care of.

Me: I love you, and because I do, I want you to be free from this as I am freed from this because I don't want you to feel shamed by this. I don't want you to have to hide this anymore but to be completely free from this because in our weakness God can show His amazing strength.

Him: I want us BOTH to be free from this (and yes, He can )

Me: and something too is that He needs to come in every area of our life, to sever off our old man.. It's just what we agreed to when we accepted it. And although it may be hard, oh please don't let the enemy keep you in solitary places and for you to remain in bondage... I mean it's just what we agreed to when we accepted Him into our life..

I love you so much and I don't want you to have to hide this any longer or to have this struggle keeping this sin in your life because you know what? sin BURDENS. And how I know. You're always fearful and shamed inside. You're always afraid of being found out and it is an effort to hide things. I don't want you to have to go through that any longer. I want God's love to shine in your life - every part of your life! He can love you so much more than I can and He already does! I just wish that you'd let Him take that weight off your shoulders, so that you can run light, free, unhindered by the entanglement of sin. Remember that He has great things in store for you? But there is a change required - and change never comes easy. But a blessing in this? He is changing us, hallelujah! And I am so glad that I am not alone in this - that I have someone I know with whom I can combat this!!! I mean, sure sometimes I feel ashamed that I still struggle with this, but I don't want to remain like this forever nor do I want you to.

Him: I didn't want to talk about that...

Me: why?

Him: I wanted to pretend I was okay

Me: because you felt shameful?

Him: uhh... and I was afraid of looking weak or dirty or something like that

Me: oh please don't fear that with me. something I'm finding is that God's been working a grace in me to accept things. or to help you move into His changing glory. and although okay I may not respond favorably all at once, He's teaching me. Actually He's gently nudging me towards those areas. You don't always have to be strong, nor appear strong, nor appear clean when there is obviously a sin that needs to be addressed in your life. I don't expect you to be. I'm leaning on God for strength and holiness, but I want you to be with me in it.

Umm sorry that was long, guys. But I guess I wanted to share that with you. Because there is no condemnation. Take heart in our God and continue to pursue Him! =) You have our support!

with love and prayers,

your sister in Christ,

Samantha =)

What a wonderful blessing it is to know we are not alone in this world!

It's so amazing to know that there are guys who will even save kissing until they are married. For so long, I thought I was alone in my thinking that kissing should be saved for my future husband (or for your future wife) because it's just another way to keep yourself pure in your relationship to them.

I encourage you all to remain strong in your commitments, bold in all you do, full of conviction, integrity, dignity and honour.

And in my opinion, anyone who is willing to take such a bold stand and step out for Christ in such difficult areas like being pure in a society telling us to crave the fleeting passions of today, is certainly a "diamond in the rough." There is honestly nothing I find more attractive on a guy than genuine godliness and when a man makes a commitment to Christ and will stop at nothing until he fulfills it.

Continue in your passionate pursuit of purity as I will continue to pray for all of you. May God bless you and keep you always.

"But these things I plan wont happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, do not despair, for these things will surely come to pass. Just be patient! He will not be overdue a single day!" (Habakkuk 2:3, The Living Bible)

"For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you; plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11

24) 10/29/06 - Marie (18), Missouri, USA

It brings tears to my eyes to read about and see your commitment to the Lord, and also to purity. There are times when I get so discouraged by all the worldliness and sensuality around me (even in church!), and wonder if there really are any guys truly committed to Christ in every aspect of their life. But this web-site is evidence that they DO exist! Thank you so much for taking a bold stand for purity. It means more to me than you know.

I also would like to encourage you guys to not get impatient or discouraged, but to continue to wait for the woman God has in store for you. I know... there are a lot of very inmature, flirtatious, and immodestly dressed girls out there. I happen to be one of them sometimes, unfortunately. Be patient with us!! A lot of times we have no idea what we're doing. I'm so sorry! But one thing I do know is that there ARE women out there that are truly waiting... women who are seeking to please Christ in all that they do and think. Wait, guys! Please, just trust God's plan and timing. I know it gets hard, because I myself can be so impatient sometimes. There ARE girls that are truly walking with Christ in all aspects of their lives... I happen to be blessed to know several as close friends. Just wait. We are still growing, still learning, still maturing. Some of us will grow up into beautiful, Godly wives, believe it or not! Please just pray for us, as we continue to pray for you.

I also want to ask you guys to continue to be even bolder messengers of the Gospel. I see so many guys at school and around me who are so lost, on their way to Hell... and I desperately ache for them, wishing I could show them how much Christ has done for them. I pray, cry and even fast over guys like these! But as a member of the opposite sex, I am sometimes afraid to say too much, not wishing they should take it wrong or even come to Christ for the wrong reasons. To me that would be even worse than where they were in the first place. That is why I am asking... please, be BOLD! Be the leader you were born to be. Speak about Christ at work, school, church, home, and everywhere you go. There are soooo many lost souls out there, in need of Jesus' saving grace and blood. Reach out! I know it's scary sometimes, but please just step outside of your comfort zone and tell others about Jesus! Invite other guys to church, or start your own little Bible study. I have done this with a small group of girls. Yes, it is hard at first... but don't let Satan lie to you and tell you you "aren't good enough", "need a clearer understanding of the gospel first" or need to "mature more as a Christian" before you bring others to Christ. The truth is, you'll never be perfect on your own! That is the whole reason Christ died. And you'll learn more just from writing a Bible study than you ever could get out of a month of Sundays. It can be so rewarding--you are bound to grow more as a Christian because of it. So please--BE BOLD! We are in an intense spiritual battle, and it is time for us to wake up and fight back. Are you soldiers of Christ, or aren't you??

I am praying for all of you! Continue to walk humbly with Christ, and cling to Him in all your weaknesses.

God bless ALL of you! :o)

Your sister in Christ,
Marie

Wow, I've been reading the letters to the girls and I've gone back over and over again to read it. It's so encouraging!!!! To have a guy tell me that he appreciates the stand I've taken to be pure, means more to me than any other encouragement. If you get what I mean. ;-) And I just felt that I cannot keep the encouragement for myself, I need to return it. So here, I want to thank ALL the guys out there who have taken the bold and sometimes difficult decision to remain pure. It's SUCH an inspiration!!! I pray that God will richly bless every guy out there and give you the strength to continue. And that we will, all together, make a world of a difference in this world, ;-) FOR CHRIST and for PURITY! Keep shining guys! And once again, thank you SO MUCH!

Hey Brothers in Christ,
First of all I want to congratulate each and every one of you on the commitment you have made to God. Its truly awesome and I'm pretty sure He thinks so too :D I just to want to encourage you all to continue to seek God and to continue to become more christlike in character and to find peace knowing that He is taking care of your love story for you in His perfect way (Jeremiah 29:11-12). We serve a God who is truly AWESOME and none of us will ever feel let down by His plans! Stay pure in your lifestyles! It's encouraging to know there are guys out there who are making purity a priority in their lives too.

Stay encouraged and keep seeking God!
Lis

Dear Brothers in Christ,
I just really want to thank each and every one of you, for letting the Lord guide you as you choose to remain pure. I realise it can sometimes be a hard thing to do, especially in today's society, but stay strong in Christ--make Him the center of your life and focus--and He will guide you through all the ups and downs. It is a great joy to my heart to find so many good Christian young men out there, willing to take a stand for what they believe is right. Never give up--each one of you and your commitments are appreciated!

Love through Christ,
Andy

Dear Brothers In Christ- and Possibly my future husband--
I want you all to know how encouraging it is to me, and to all of the other young ladies who desire to be pure, that you are saving yourselves for us... I have had people ask me why I even bother saving myself for my future husband, when there arent any guys out there who are saving themselves for me... so i just want to say thank you for proving that theory wrong, and for having enough respect for us to care enough to wait.

One day God will bless you for it... and you (and your wife) will be glad you waited!

Your sister in Christ,
Hannah

Dear Guys,
It is so encouraging to read the letters posted on the PurityGirls site from the guys... I can't tell you how much each of the girls who reads them appreciate it!

When I first committed myself to having a pure life, I didn't realise there were so many people who felt the same way! True, the number of us is outweighed by those who haven't made that choice, but still, I think we are gradually realising that it is what the Lord would have us do.

God bless, and stay strong in your walk with Him. He will bless you for wanting to honour Him.

Dear Purity Guys,
I want to thank each and every one of you for taking such a strong stand and committing yourself to a life of abstinence. I know there is a lot of pressure out there, in your schools, at your jobs, and many other places, and there are probably a lot of people who are pressing you to go against your beliefs. I really appreciate that you've been brave enough to choose the lifestyle that God has planned out for you...He will bless you for it! Stay strong in the Lord, brothers.

Awesome! I have so much love for all of you -- my brothers in Christ. I must say that the decision that each of you have made -- to remain pure for God and your future wives -- is brilliant and extremely attractive. I continue to pray that God will bless me with such a man someday. I too have chosen to be holy and remain pure until marriage ...and have even promised God that I will save my first kiss for that glorious day on the altar. Your purity is the basis of true beauty. For me to know that there are so many godly men doing the same thing as I am has given me a second wind ...it makes me want to be so radical for Christ! More youth need to wake up to the call for purity! Whenever you feel tempted, depressed, or lonely...just know that we Purity Girls are going through the same pain for the glory of God. Draw nearer to the Lord and beg Him for strength. Grow in Him. Allow Him to stretch you and mold you into strong Christian men that can take righteous leadership over us. We need that. Together we can serve God in the most amazing way. Be desperate daily -- for His grace, mercy, discerment and goodness. Pray for us as we pray for you. Know that tremendous love awaits you.

In Love,
Melissa

To my brothers in Christ - and especially to my future husband, wherever you are, I don't even know where to begin. I have yet to personally meet a teen guy who wants to save himself completely for his wife - maybe save sex for marriage, but not much else.

Sometimes it gets so discouraging. I'm homeschooled, but I used to attend a Christian school, and even there, the guys were all complete jerks - especially to those of us girls that they deemed pretty enough to take notice of, unfortunately they put me in that group. Out of many teen guys who I've told about my commitments, which include saving my first kiss for the altar and not dating, only one has said he respects that (and he's certainly not the type of guy I'd be interested in - he dates and flirts and...yeah). I guess I'd pretty much given up on ever getting married because I didn't think a decent guy existed. But just now, I looked at the bio's on purityguys.com and saw a 15 year old guys. I can't tell you how much that affected me - I'm almost in tears. Stay strong. You guys are so amazing! I can't tell you what it means to me - that there are guys who are willing to wait. Your future wives will be so grateful to you as well. Be kind to other girls - let them know, in gentlemanly, polite ways that they are valuable. It really helps us - and we don't get that from most guys, because the only way most guys compliment or pay attention to us is to tell us that we're "hot" or give other sexual remarks - and that's really detrimental to our self-worth. I know part of myself has been deeply injured by guys and I struggle with depression, cutting, and on and off with eating disorder-like symptoms. Don't cause another girl the same pain. P.S. End note that is just for my future husband: I love you so much! I promise to remain faithful to you, and I write you letters in a journal to give to you when we're married. I love you!

Hey, guys!
I was reading the letters to girls and wanted to say they're so touching! It's great to know that there are guys out there with a promise to stay pure. I don't know too many guys because around here where I live they are no good. Anyway I want to thank and encourage you guys out there, your commitment is much appreciated.

Thanks!

What an awesome God we serve! Guys, first off, fall in love with Jesus. Seek Him, pursue Him. Yes, there probably will come a long awaited time when you get to pursue a girl, and win her heart but until then, and even after then, fall in love with the Lord. It sounds girly to talk about "falling in love," but honestly, we want guys that are more in the love with the Lord than they are with us. Strange sounding, eh? Stand up for Jesus, if you ever feel like you're standing alone, be comforted. You never know when one of us is praying for you. Many times the Lord has just stopped me, and reminded me to pray for you all. Sure, many times it's specifically for the guys I know, but many times it's for guys in general. That YOU would keep your purity.. that YOU would keep your heart - that YOU would be an example and light to others - that YOUR mind would be innocent and above lust - that GOD would be shining through you. This is more than I've told others, but even as a daughter of a dad who loves me more than I know, many times I doubt my dad's happiness. I know he had *A* single girlfriend before my mom, and many times I question whether he wishes he was with her. How much worse would the problem be compounded if he had had 20 girlfriends before Mom! It is worth waiting. It's worth it to your wife and to your future daughters. ;) Pray for us. Pray that we would be sensitive to the Spirit, and filled with His beauty. Tell your moms (or tell us personally!) that you appreciate our modesty. Many times we think it's unrecognized and it doesn't matter. Fight the good fight - and win the race. Jesus has already conquered.

In Him Alone

Dear Guys,
I just wanted to let you guys know that are still young ladies out there that are still staving themselves for their future husbands. I pray for my future husband everyday. Please save yourself for your future wife. It will be rewarding to you and her in the end. God will also bless your marriage more than you could know. Please don't think that all girls out there want to show off their bodies and stuff. I am protecting and saving my body, heart, and soul for the one man who deserves it. Please keep in touch with God and He will guide you and direct you. Thanks to all the guys that are living pure lives. You're awesome and may God Bless You!!

Guys, the most important thing for you pure guys out there is to hang on to your commitment and to stand firm to what you have decided. Letting God be the center of your life is the greatest thing you can do. If your thinking about that furture wife out there you need to think about when you feel tempted. The feeling will be great for her to know and even for you to know that you waited for her. So for now you need to let God work through you and in you so that he can prepare you for her someday in His time. It is easy to get discouraged but remember that God is always there and is the Lord of your life. The most I can tell you is to focus on God and worry not about girlfirends and dateing, but stay focused on your creater and you will be blessed in return.

Just wanted to write a note to encourage you to keep on waiting for the young woman God has for you! He will bring her at the perfect time. Just remember that there truly are girls out there who are pure and waiting for their future princes. Girls who pray for their future husbands every day, write letters to him, dress modestly, & don't date. Stay strong! The best is yet to come.

Love in Christ,
Erin

I just wanted to let you know that I am so thankful that there are so many wonderful guys that are willing to wait for their future wife...you are doing a great job :)! I've never dated, and I'm just waiting for the right one that Jesus has for me. I've chosen to save my first kiss for my wedding day. Jesus has such an incredible plan for each of your lives, just continue to submit to his leading!

I just wanted to let you know how thankful I am to think that there are actually guys out there waiting on God's timing for relationships. I know it has to be VERY hard in this world we live in. It seems that temptations and struggles start early, but I want to encourage you to keep waiting, praying and thanking God for his blessings. There ARE girls out there waiting too!

I really appreciate your committment, its something that helps keep me committed too...knowing there are guys out there like you.

Thanks so much, and dont give up. God is faithful.

Your Sister in Christ,
Becca

I just wanted to say how amazing it is to know that there are guys how are strong enough and conscience enough of their faith to stand against the crowd when it comes to society's temptations and falsehoods. Todays society tries to use any possible way to lure us into temptation and you guys are still going strong against it!!

Thank you so much!! God will absolutely make it worth your while, if not now then He definetly will later!! God loves to see you guys turn away from temptation, and trust me girls notice it!!!

It may not seem like it to you, but us girls notice when guys avoid temptation...and you gain respect from us in amounts you cannot begin to imagine! If it feels like you're picked on or laughed at because of your decisions to follow Christ's example, just remember that our job IS to stand out from them! They didn't accept Christ so why would they accept us if we follow Him?! Just remember God will bless you on such a huge scale that everything is worth it!!!

Keep going strong guys, and stay in the word!! :)

I just wanted to take some time to encourage all of you in your walk with God! I will admit as a girl I tend to forget that you guys struggle just as much as we do with "the ways of the world" but wow...its so amzing to see a good strong christian guy these days! God will so honor you in living your life for Him! and just always try to remember that yeah your plan for your life may be awesome, but Gods plan for your life, is perfect! wait for God's timing, He knows what you need exactly when you need it! and whenever things get really hard, remember that God is with you every step, stumble and fall you take, He is right there willing to help you! Never be afraid to go to Him!
I hope you all have a wonderful day!

I will be praying for all of you!

In Christ

I know there's only a few of you right now but I just want you to know that I know so many girls (myself included) that are waiting and searching for guys who are willing to put God and girls first to the point of staying pure. There is a girl out there that God made just for you! She fits you perfectly and she will be forever greatful to you for waiting for her. Thank you for showing me that there are still God guys out there!

Dear Brothers in Christ,
I never thought that there were guys out there that were committed to purity, but it is such an encouragement to find out I was wrong! I have struggled for sometime now with dressing modestly,and I just want all you guys to know that I am trying along with all the other girls committed to waiting! It is hard with modesty! Sometimes I get so discouraged and feel I am the only girl who is trying,and often I feel more discouraged when the guys around me don't even notice my struggles.It sometimes seems to me that guys don't care at all how you dress;But I know God does.And that is all I need to REALLY know to dress better.But, I found out by doing my own modesty survey,that there are guys who appreciate modesty.I guess I don't know what else to say,except thanks for making the decision to be a guy who sticks with purity! Stay strong in your decision guys! Us girls are thankful for that as well :)

To all the guys who are waiting...
I just want to encourage you all to be men. Our society seems to promote blurring the lines between the genders, but God made us different for a reason. Become the man God made you to be, and true women will be drawn to you.

Jess xx

Dear Bros-
It seems impossible to think of what to say right now but I just wanted to take a few seconds to say how much each and every one of you reading this means to me. I can't wait to see how many will show the world that YES, there are still guys out there waiting! Or that YES, there are guys who've made mistakes, but they also realize that God is a big God, big enough to forgive anything and gives second chances to start over fresh.

So often we girls hear Satan snarl "Lower your standards, show off a little bit more, flirt harder- or you'll never get a guy. Besides that, what are you waiting for? HE's certainly not waiting for you!" And many times we believe these lies. But YOU guys- you are such an encouragement to me. I can see these thoughts for what they are- LIES.

God knew what He was talking about when He said to save our hearts, minds, and bodies for Him and our future spouses. I know the end result will be well worth it. I pray that you will always guard your heart above all else, for it is truly the well-spring of life (Proverbs 4:23). Keep your mind & body pure too, even if you think there aren't any GIRLS out there waiting just because you can't see them anywhere near you- because we're out there, and God will eventually bring us across your path in HIS perfect time!

Also, don't think that one of us won't ever love you if you've slipped and fallen, because we've all made mistakes and sinned. No sin is greater in God's eyes and it's the fact that you got up and tried to walk again that matters.

Love in Christ,
Candace
