"When beauty isn't concealed and saved, then it loses its marvel. Like if the sky was always a beautiful sunset then it wouldn't be that amazing."
Just think about that for one second. If we always dressed to impress and to show men that we are women, there is no marvel, no wondering. If the sunset was always perfect and beautiful we wouldn't enjoy it. We wouldn't think, "wow, that is a really pretty sunset" or "wow, I can't believe that God created something that beautiful." We would just think, "oh, another sunset."
Now, I don't know about you but that's not how I want to be viewed. Oh, just another girl. I want to be able to conceal what I have to offer so that way its unique, it's one of a kind, and it's beautiful.
In today's society, women spend 99% of their lives getting judged. Oh, she is too prude, oh, she is a slut. Not only do us girls judge one another for what we wear, what we weight, or what we do in our free time but we allow men to judge us based on what we wear and how we talk and what music we listen to and we allow men to judge our worth off of proving we are a women by what we wear.
Trust me, they know we are women. And if they are any type of a decent guy they won't want you to show everything you have to everyone. Just as God only allows for his creations and sunsets to be enjoyed when He intends for them to. He doesn't give us beautiful sunsets every single night just as we shouldn't give away our beauty like it's free game.
If God can create something as beautiful as a northeast Nebraska sunset, imagine how beautiful we could be if we all chose to be.
I know that all the time girls say, "Let's pick each other up, not break each other down." "Let's embrace one another's beauty and build our self-confidence." "Let's all be friends." And in this sad reality we live in, that does not happen. Not only do girls constantly judge others, but they also think, "I need to be skinny like her," or "I need to be perfect like her."
NO ONE IS PERFECT, but no one is like you. I am not going to tell you to all be friends and love one another and girls be nice to girls. BUT, I am going to tell you, allow yourself to be worth what God made you for. Don't let boys tell you your worth by the tightness of your dress and don't let girls make you feel inadequate for the way you look, talk or act.
Let God judge you, because he made you the way he makes the sunset—beautiful, unique and concealed.
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.
1 Peter: 3:3-4
