Modest Is Hottest

The title says it all, really. Dressing modest is what is truly attractive. I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of clothes shopping anymore. It's such a difficult process especially when searching for a bathing suit. Having the latest fashion trends and wearing them out is a big thing. It makes you feel cooler like you belong, but these days as new fashion trends emerge, the less coverage there is. 

"Well, it's my body and I can wear what I want." FALSE. 

"Don't you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself." 1 Corinthians 6:19 tells us that our bodies our not our own. When we disrespect ourselves, we are disrespecting God. The fact that God gave us life is the one of the greatest gifts of all. Why would we want to turn around and disrespect Him by throwing ourselves away? That's like having someone spend all their money on you at Christmas and you disliking the gift so you threw it away. 

I'm not pretty or cool if I am not wearing the latest fashion trends. FALSE. Again.

1 Peter 3:3-4 (aka one of my favorite verses) says 3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes. 4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.

The way we carry ourselves and what we show on the inside is what makes us beautiful. God looks at what is on the inside. Unfourtanetly society today says if you aren't appealing on the outside, you're not pretty.. But let me tell you something YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL & GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH. After all, who's approval are we trying to win over here? Gods approval or the worlds approval? 

One of the final and biggest reasons I choose to dress modestly is because the Bible itself says...

Romans 14:13

13 So let’s stop condemning each other. Decide instead to live in such a way that you will not cause another believer to stumble and fall.

Let's be real here ladies, boys struggle with lust just as everyone does. It is harder for them because of US. Because girls choose to dress immodestly. Don't you want your future husband to stay pure for you? Of course you do so why would you choose to dress in a way that is going to cause him to stumble? If we carried ourselves in a more modest way, staying pure would be easier for boys. 72% of boys said that modesty is important quality they want their future wife to have. 

You can still dress cute and own cute clothes while being modest. If you are ever unsure about an outfit, ask a parent or a friend. Most of the time, however, if you have to question yourself about a outfit, chances are it might be too immodest. 

You are beautiful and the way you carry yourself is important. :)

Now enjoy this cute video I found last night. :)
