Hey ladies I know I have been away for a while, but I am going to pick up right where I left off. Don't you think the modestly dressed women above are sexy? I think so, and not much skin was revealed to accomplish it. Women tend to say they dress a certain way to feel sexy, but you don't have to show the world your body and dress scantily to do so. In my last post a few months back I left you with this question, do you wear a bikini to the beach and if so why?
Let me first answer the question, I do not wear a bikini to the beach because I feel that its just underwear made with a different material. I wear a one piece or tankini with shorts. Usually when I ask this question to women they usually say yeah why not, then I precede with the question, would you wear your underwear to the beach? They then answer no and I ask isn’t it the same thing just made with a different material? In addition, I also ask, what’s so different between the two? No one could ever seem to answer these two questions.
The reason why is because society has classed the bikini as an appropriate piece of clothing. Do I think its appropriate for women of God? No I personally don’t, however I never judge women of God who do wear them. These are just my personal beliefs and its what the Holy Spirit has convicted me not to wear. We must remember I Corinithians 6:19-20 (KJV) says, “Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.” I know that my body is the temple of God and I try to always honor God with my body by dressing modestly. Women tend to put all of the blame on men that lust after them, but in truth if you are dressing distastefully and with hardly any clothes you too play a part. Men are visual beings, it’s the way that God created them. We can see this way back from the creation when God created Eve for Adam.
In addition, I Corinthians 7:4 (KJV) says, “The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife.” I know that my body is not only God’s temple, but it will one day belong to my husband. No man of God wants the world to see all that his wife has to offer. He wants to be the only one to have the privilege to see you in that light. Men of God tend to want their women modestly dressed when out in public, but in private they want them scantily dressed for their eyes only. Give your husband this privilege ladies.
So ladies I don’t believe in wearing the booty shorts, mini skirts, dresses’/blouses revealing all of your cleavage or bikinis. You are suppose to be a reflection of God. As I said in previous posts on modesty, once you have the Holy Spirit He will teach you how to dress and make you feel uncomfortable in clothes you once were. Remember modesty is a part of being a Proverbs 31 Woman! Last but not least remember Romans 12:2 says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” So yes modesty in the world today is lacking, but remember you are chosen people and we must be in this world and not if it! Be the woman God has called you to be!
Love you all,
Daughter of the King!
