Girls want to be noticed and be loved, and they think getting attention with their bodies will do that for them. . . . Even girls in the church. I think part of the problem is girls aren't being shown the security we find in a relationship with Christ. That relationship which fills the voids in our life. The relationship which gives us inner confidence. As a mother, I do need to guide my daughter in what to wear and teach her about purity, but most importantly I need to teach her that she is important to God. That He loves her heart, and that she is secure in her relationship with him. In the safety of His love we can express who we really are without fear of rejection.

Very well written. I didn't have time to say everything I wanted to say on my own post, but you touched on part of it here. Many women are insecure--so much so that to meet the "industry standard," to dress like the world and be accepted, they choose to enhance their bodies. I am far from being perfect, but I am wonderfully made! I love your new blog! Great post! Very well written.

Your new look is fabulous! Ditto Heather's points, and one of my own: 3. Modesty also goes further than the way we dress. Welcome to WordPress! Your new look is fabulous!

3. Modesty also goes further than the way we dress.
