“Happy is that young man [young woman] whose heart is never defiled with vice! There is no way of being kept from impurity except by giving up the heart to the holy Lord…the most pure-minded are surrounded with innumerable temptations; and many there are that slip with their feet before they are aware of it, being carried away because they have not time to think before the temptation has cast them to the ground. ‘Therefore….’ says wisdom, ‘give me thine heart. Everybody will try to steal thy heart, therefore leave it in my charge. Then thou needest not fear the fascinations of the strange…for I have thy heart, and I will keep it safe unto the day of my appearing.’ It is most wise to give Jesus our heart, for seducers will seek after it.”
-Charles Spurgeon
