Who Am I Revealing?
It's spring! Time to switch out the clothes in our closest and get those toes sandal-ready. I'm sure you've already had the "that's too short" conversation with your mom, but keep in mind it comes from a good place. No, she is not trying to squash your fashionista stylings. She's just trying to encourage you to honor the Lord with everything you do and wear. What you wear reveals what lives in your heart. This is what the Bible says about modesty: "I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God" 1 Timothy 2:9-10. When the Lord talks about modesty He is not only talking about clothes but a fruit of faith. He is talking about modesty in our character. In many ways, modesty comes from your heart. Think about that before strutting that deep-v with no undershirt.
