Dressed To Lure or be Pure?

If you were to look into your closet right now what would you see? Would you see sweat pants? Jeans?  Miniskirts? As women of God, it is EXTREMELY important to think what kind of message you are sending about who you are based on what your wearing. The first thing most people notice when they meet a new person is how they are dressed. Even men. It not only our job, but our duty to keep those poor men's thoughts pure, not lustful.
I understand some women like that kind of attention and provoke those thoughts on purpose. Don't get me wrong. Almost every women likes to look her best, some more then others, but overall we want to look nice. The world tells us that if we want a mans attention or even just want to look good we need to wear tight miniskirts, crop tops, short dresses, butt-flashing shorts, anything that shows as much body as possible.  No doubt that WILL get a mans attention. But, is that really the kind of attention you want? Do you want a swarm of men following you around because they love your body? or because they like you as a person? And truthfully, the kind of men you should want to attract actually appreciate a women that dresses modestly.
No, you don't have to wear a nun dress. But how about a pair of simple jeans, white blouse, light brown jacket and flats? You can look fashionable and classy instead of, lets face it, a slut.
Men are bombarded with these kind of imagines everywhere. Almost to the point that they can't get away from from it. And it's kind of embarrassing.
So, next time your getting dressed look in the mirror and ask yourself:
"Am I dressed to lure or be pure?"

Thanks for reading!

  1. ColdCoffee, God is pleased that you are modest as a young woman. I admire your courage to go against the values of the world. It is so helpful to dads and young men when you don't tempt them to lust after you.
