What shall i wear today?....
First of all i would like to say that this video is talking about a big issue- but we can apply aspects of this to our everyday lives. I am simply using it as an illustration about modesty. I really respect rebecca for standing up for purity/modesty and for keeping her cool.
I am really big on modesty. As christians we are meant to be "salt and light" and "light in the darkness." This implies that we are to live differently from the world. This means with everything in our lives- including the way we dress. We are also meant to be "immtators of God." I don't want what i am wearing to be pointing to me. How is anybody meant to see the light of God shining in and through me if I have various part of my body hanging out?!
Also I believe that we shoulld be saving our bodies for our future husbands/wives- it is for his eyes only. I don't want random guys to be looking at my body- i want to save it for him. I also don't want to be seen as a sexual object- i am so much more than that.
A verse which i read recently went something like this:
And I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the latest fashions but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it (1 Tim 2v 9-10, the message)
I want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God (1 Tim 2 v 9-10)
I definelty want to focus on my inside beauty and become more and more like Jesus everyday :)
I want to note that dressing modesty does not mean wearing bland boring shapless clothes that go all the way up to our necks. We can still look good. God is good all the time and he is a God of love. His ways are the best- an these guidelines on modesty are truly for our best intrests.
So here are some of my personal tips:
I wear a white strap top under low tops
I try not to buy tops which show my chest- if i do i wear a white strap top
layering clothes
i don't buy any trousers or skirts that go above my knee- if i do buy skirts which go above my knee i will wear tights
