As I grew up, I learnt that being a lady is a precious honor and I have decided that in this lifetime I must make good use of this rare honor. I and my friend, Damiloju wrote this article and will love to share with all ladies why it is necessary to be decent and how that can prevent so many uncalled situations.
Teach young ladies that everything covered is precious. A modestly dressed woman is like a pearl in its shell. "Women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel with modesty and self control" 2Tim 2:9.
Ladies you don't have to dress naked to get a man's attention. Real men don't like their woman dressed like she is for sale. In today's world we are being brainwashed that our beauty comes out when we dress openly and we are more noticed and recognized. People might say that, but as a virtuous lady who would love to please God and not people, you need to stand firm, dress moderately and become a great model for other females to follow. I will share some bible verses with you all and relate them to our lives as PRECIOUS JEWELS.
"It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings to search out a matter." Proverbs 25:2
'As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is a fair woman which is without discretion.' Proverbs 11:22
It is quite impossible to find precious beautiful stones just anywhere, neither is it possible to find pearls on the surface of land or water; one has to dig deep to find them. It is also impossible to have academic success by being a shallow reader, you have to read deep and wide to have even academic excellence. It is quite obvious that nothing important or things considered of great value can be found just on any surface.
I wish to liken the above scenario to our bodies. Just as important and precious things shouldn't be seen just anywhere, important and private part of our body should not be seen just anywhere.
It is easy to see just ordinary ordinary stones anywhere, exposing your body parts just means you don't consider them precious.
Our bodies are God's own temple, where He dwells. The earlier we come to the realization of this fact, the better. God actually owns our bodies, we owe all to him, even our bodies. We must protect our bodies as as God's property.
If it's about getting a man's attention, a pure kind heart is enough to get a man's attention, any body's attention actually, but should we actually seek men's attention? Seek God and all will fall in place. Every woman in life is positioned for great things and your outside looks really speaks of who you really are.
Dress modestly, dress to please God, not the world.
LIVE AS A PRECIOUS PEARL!!!!!
