ROMANS 12:2
When you wake up in the morning you have a choice to make: what you will wear that day. For a lot of girls, this is a big choice, and a tough one, because we want to look pretty. But when we are Christians, we have more to consider when we get dressed than just what looks good. We are God’s beautiful creation and He commanded us to dress in a way that honors Him. I Timothy 2:9 says to dress moderately and discreetly. Okay, I know what you’re thinking: “Do I have to wear rags?!” No! God wants us to feel and look beautiful, but in a modest way. You girls may not know this, but you are all extremely gorgeous! And since you are so gorgeous, when you wear clothing that is revealing or tight it can make boys look at you in ways they shouldn’t. What we do can cause others to sin, so we need to be careful. When you wake up in the morning ask yourself, “Am I honoring God with what I’m wearing?”
