Virtue
Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is
far above rubies. (Proverbs 31:10)
I will prepare to enter the temple and remain
pure and worthy. My thoughts and actions
will be based on high moral standards.
Virtue’s color
is Gold, a precious metal that has long been known as a symbol of purity. When gold is refined, it is pure. If you are virtuous, you are strong and
pure. It is power and it is
strength. It is all derived by being
pure. Virtue is the power of a pure
life.
Virtue is an Olympic Gold Skater. She wears the Golden Young Women Medallion
with the temple. It is likened unto the
Gold Medal the Olympic athletes work and train so hard to obtain. For it is the best, the prize above all other
prizes. Olympic athletes have to train
hard and work hard, they have to focus on their goal of reaching the Gold. In order to reach the temple, you must remain
virtuous. The Young Womanhood Torch
helps to light her way and remind her of the values that will help to keep her
on the straight and narrow way.
My Testimony of Virtue: Virtue is that glorious
prize that is sacred and special and that should be saved for that one special
man who is worthy to take you to the temple for time and all eternity. It’s not
something to be flaunted about on street corners or in the schools or anyplace
else for that matter. It’s not meant to be degraded and used and thrown out like yesterdays
trash. It’s something to keep very close to you and very guarded until the day
when you are sealed for time and all eternity to your eternal companion. Don’t throw
away your virtue on some flashy fashionable fad that leaves very little to the
imagination. Dress modestly, follow the
counsel that the prophet has set before you.
Be mindful of what image you are presenting. Be proud of who you are. You are a princess of the Most High God. You are a daughter of a Heavenly Father who
loves you. Keep true to your covenants,
remain virtuous, and hold fast to the iron rod.
You are priceless.
