Embodying Christ 1.1 Modesty
It's the M-word again.You see it in Christian magazines,hear it from your Sunday School teacher,get an earful of it from your mom when you're picking out clothes,see it plastered across the fronts of Christian t- shirts.You're porbably thinking "Oh great,another article on modesty!!Enough,already!",you're thinking."No biggie!! I don't dress like all the other girls!!" I wouldn't be so sure about that. You also see the M-word trashed every single day. Even if you don't realize it,the world's standards are probably seeping into your life in some way,big or small.One of the biggest ways for girls is modesty and the way we dress. The way we dress says everything about us.What we think of ourselves.Now you're thinking "No way! My personality and what I say and how I act determine what I think of myself!!" Well,that also plays a big part in determining everything about you,but so does how you dress.If you are wearing cleavage-exposing tees,or short shorts,or a skintight top,this basically says to anyone passing by "I don't value myself that much.I don't think I'm special,so I think that if I wear these kind of clothes people will love me and respect me and I'll get attention from guys and popular people." Or here's another lie that many girls,including me,fall for - "Everybody's wearing it!!" Yet a lot of girls that I know who wear immodest clothes say "I value myself!! I'm special!!". Girls who wear modest cothes,meaning that when they bend over or sit down you don't see their underwear,they're saying "I love who I am.I respect myself.And people shouldn't loveme for how I look.They should love me for me!!" And that's a beautiful thing in a girl - modesty.And I have a statement for those who still think I'm wrong : if you truly value yourself,that you wouldn't be needing to show the world what should be hidden until you and your future husband are married.So I'm just telling you how the world views you when you dress immodestly. The second issue of modesty is the guy issue.I don't think most girls realize the impact we have on guys when we dress immodestly.I know,now you're thinking "But the girls who wear next to nothing have tons of boyfriends!!" Think about the type of guys that are paying attention to them - guys who are lured to a girl by the way she's dressed,not by her personality.And if you date that kind of a guy,he'll only pay attention to you as long as you're dressed immodestly.As soon as he sees another girl wearing even less who looks more appealing,he's moved on and you're left wondering what went wrong.And when you dress immodestly,you're arrousing lust and desire in a guy that shouldn't be there.And here's another lie - "But the guys in the youth group smile and talk to the girls who have almost-nothing on!!" Well,girls,a guy could be talking to a girl who's dressed in a way that he totally disapproves of,and he could be smiling and acting like there's nothing wrong the whole time he's talking to her.And immodesty is a huge stumbling block for guys also.So if you're a Christian and God says to love your brothers in Christ,then by dressing immodestly, you are causing guys to sin.And the consequences of those who cause others to sin are serious. Here's a comment from my brother,who's 12,on a girl who wears short shorts and short skirts - "Those shorts and skirts are way too short.Why do girls wear clothes like that?" He's never said anything to the girl - guys normally don't - but in private he totally disapproves of how she's dressed.And it's also a stumbling block for married guys - they already know what's underneath the clothes,so it leaves less to the imagination.And a guy's mind has photographic memory.Which doesn't always work in your favor. So no matter what others think of us,let's make a pact as girls to dress with respect to guys.We have so much influence - let's use it well. Here are some guidelines that might help to go by when you're shopping: 1.No wearing just a cami or a top with straps without something under it,like a short-sleeved or long-sleeved top.Believe it or not,even wearing a shirt with straps can cause guys to think of things they shouldn't.So if you see a cute cami,just get a simple top to go under it also. 2.No pants that are higher that about 2-3 inches above the knee.And if you have skirts higher than that,put leggings or tights under them. 3.No tops that show cleavage - if you have some plunging necklines,put a cami under them. 4.No see-through tops or shorts that allow people to see through the clothes.Put a tank top under them or wear flesh-colored underwear. 5.No skin-tight anything.Put a looser top over a skin tight top or a shorter skirt over tight jeans. Hope you enjoyed this article - please comment and tell me what you think.I'd love to here feeback,especially from guys - add your comments freely. And girls - we CAN change the modern idea that less is more (less clothing = more guys).Don't fall for that lie.You are more precious than that.You deserve better.Don't let others influence you badly - choose to let the guidelines of God govern your life.
