I think they exist as reminders that we were born originals, not copies of someone else, with gifts to be used and given for God\u2019s purpose.

It\u2019s a once in a lifetime experience!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As lovebirds and the lovelorn scramble for dinner reservations, floral extravaganzas, plush teddy bears, and big red roses, many churches will emphasize the true meaning of love and<br \/>\nthe benefits of remaining pure, including being sexually abstinent until marriage. In this update, we have included ideas to help churches and organizations promote purity while emphasizing God\u2019s great love.<\/p>\n<p>We are praying for you in the days ahead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Visit their website if you would like to know more, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.truelovewaits.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.truelovewaits.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/ywupdate?moderation_action=report_form&#038;object_type=post&#038;object_id=2936&#038;width=250&#038;height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may receive the &#8220;True Love Waits Cooperating Ministry Update&#8221; as Marti does.
