A Call to Modesty

I've been overwhelmed this week with the way women are displaying themselves on television and the magazines. It makes me literally hurt inside when I see a woman who is trying so hard to be what she sees on TV and the magazines. Well, it doesn't take that much effort, does it? And the attention you get when you reveal all you have on the outside to any one who will look...and the guys do look. We are only seen as mere "objects" of someone's fascination when we offer ourselves to strangers by the way we walk, talk and the things we wear...and then we get upset when they don't see us for who we are "inside." It's as if we yearn for someone to see us...the real us but all we know to give is the part we know they will like.

This is a call to be a different kind of woman...let others see you for who you are on the inside not your Size B Breasts in which you make into a Double D by a different Bra, or your pannie lines you can see through your tight, white pants. You and I were created to be more than that! Beauty is going to fade...but the inward person will remain. I don't know about you but I want to be mysterious...my word, guys don't even have to use their imagination any more...well, their going to have to use it for me...because I am deciding with God's strength to respond to Paul's exhortation in First Timothy 2. There is a time and place for everything too...wait for marriage before revealing the lingerie!
