What NOT To Wear


Okay girls, this is something that I think we need to discuss. I know that not everyone here has a problem with this (in fact, most of us don’t), but as summer is coming up, I wanted to discuss this.

WE need to be careful about what we wear. Stop complaining about how guys are looking at us and take a look in the mirror.

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.”Matthew 7:3-5
Look at your spiritual nature: We are sinful and lustful creatures, just like guys. Don’t deny it. We have all ogled a guy at the pool with his shirt off, etc.

Look at your physical body: What are you wearing to make guys want to look at you? How are you acting?

Chances are, the guys are looking at you because YOU are either wearing something that causes them to lust after you OR you are acting in a way that makes them look at you. Let’s focus on the appearance.

“…Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness-with good works.” 1 Timothy 2:9-10

There are so many options for clothes out there. Fashion designers are making clothing of all shapes and sizes. If you have the money and the desire, you can wear next to nothing or you can layer to your heart’s desire. (next week, we'll talk more about fashion options).

QUESTIONS TO THINK ABOUT:

Do guys tend to look at you in lustful ways? (looking at your chest, butt, etc.)


Why do you think they do this? Is it because of you? Or is because of them?


What do you need to do to change this if it's your fault? What can you do if it is their fault?


Please answer these questions for yourself and feel free to share if you want to.

Thanks, Kiersten. I really do hope that we can all take this lesson to heart.
