Too Cheap

I saw her face so often yesterday.

As they say, she started to “haunt” me.

• She could be my daughter. (I have two children older than she, and three younger.)
• Why would she sell herself so cheaply?
• What does she know about Jesus and His Gospel?
• Who will help her?

So the governor of New York paid $1000 an hour for her “services.” I wouldn’t pay $10. It is just not worth the price.

Even so, she is worth that price. In fact, she sold herself far too cheaply. Even a rate a thousand times what Mr. Spitzer paid would be too little for this young woman. Or any woman.

“Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body” (1 Corinthians 6:13).

“As a jewel of gold in a swine’s snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion” (Proverbs 11:22).

“Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids” (Proverbs 6:25).

“Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised” (Proverbs 31:30).

“For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life” (Proverbs 6:26).

“And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God” (1 Corinthians 6:13).

“Go, and sin no more” (John 8:11).

May the Lord redeem and renew Kristen or Kirsten or Ashley or whatever Miss Dupre’s name is.
