I Ain’t Innocent!
- While innocence is sometimes perceived as a social liability, it’s actually a good thing and commanded in Scripture
- In addition to innocence, we’re also commanded to be shrewd. So be innocent, but not at the expense of being wise
I was listening to a young lady lament how some of her friends were giving her a hard time for being “innocent.” Apparently, because she was oblivious to what a certain term meant, she was considered to be less than “hip” and that’s when the teasing began.
She’s a sweet kid and her demeanor affords her the chance to be well liked by pretty much everybody. But every now and then her sweet disposition is the subject of some gentle ridicule because she’s not as street wise as some think she ought to be. It’s especially frustrating when she gets told by some boys that she’s a “nice” girl and without a healthy helping of mystery and perhaps just a small amount of rebelliousness, she’s not as alluring as she would like to be.
What would you tell her?
