Today, I am going to start out by giving you a few verses to think about.
"9likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works." ( 1 Timothy 2:9-10)
"3 Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— 4but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God’s sight is very precious." ( 1 Peter 3:3-4)
When you read these I hope you thought of yourself. As women of God how do we represent ourselves? Do people even recognize that we have a relationship with God? Now yes these can be looked at as oh, but that is in reference to marriage or others. However, " For the Maker is your husband the Lord of hosts is his name..." (Isaiah 54:5) So with that said why represent ourselves immodest? We represent Him people should look and think why is she so different? When we cover up ourselves in fancy clothes and make-up we hide who God made us to be. When we wear inappropriate clothes we make ourselves look impure, even if we are not. Ladies, we get it all wrong! We are all beautiful! With our good works and godliness and big heart we are beautiful! People recognize this beauty! We are all beautiful inside and out but when we dress out of control and cake on make up we hide that beauty we hide the most unique things about ourselves. And remember, "7 You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you." (Song of Solomon 4:7) I walk around a high school and see the generation I live in hide their
beauty like there is something to be ashamed of. We shouldn't be ashamed to be God's child. I hope that women can realize how beautiful they really are.
God is Love.
