Eyes send powerful messages-"Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes" (S. of S. 4:99Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck. (Song of Solomon 4:9)). "Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me" (S. of S. 6:55Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me: thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead. (Song of Solomon 6:5)). In courtship, you should have eyes only for one special person. If a young man has attracted your heart, be sure you do not continue to look at other young men. And make sure those eyes of yours are not telling him to act contrary to the Word of God!
God's Word gives very clear warning about the "strange woman" and what she tries to do to a young man with her eyes. "Neither let her take thee with her eyelid;" (Prov. 6:2525Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. (Proverbs 6:25)). Don't use your eyes that way! How can you grow grass, dear sisters, if your conduct and actions purposely are meant to tease him or to see how far you can push him?
Don't be daring. That's a lie you constantly hear from the world that encourages young women to wear daring clothing, use daring language, and act in daring ways towards men. If you follow any of these actions can you later place all the blame for a tragic moral fall on your boyfriend by saying, "I never meant for that to happen?" "Be not deceived, God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap" (Gal. 6:77Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. (Galatians 6:7)).
