Abstinence Is an Affirmative Act
We can make a positive commitment to care for our body. We can vow not to allow harmful things to happen to it, much the same as a mother is committed to protecting her infant. Our statement is not I am against chemicals. It is I am for my body. Like an infant, our body is entrusted into our care and is quite helpless. We can put nutritious substances into it and keep it strong; or give it dangerous chemicals, which will ruin it. Just as mothers take great pride in keeping their infants healthy, we can take pride in keeping our body healthy.
