Day 26: To Girls

"Therefore, if what I eat causes my brother to fall into sin, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause him to fall."   1 Corinthians 8:13 
      This verse illustrates the need to dress modestly. Dressing immodestly causes our brothers to stumble, and we just might cause him to fall. You don't want to cause that by the way you dress, something so easily adjusted. Just pick another outfit. It doesn't matter how cute it is, the only attention you will receive from your brothers will be negative. You want your brothers to respect you as their sister in Christ, not look at you as an item. They will have no respect for you at all.
     More importantly, it will lead your brothers into sin. The way you dress may tempt them to have ungodly thoughts, and thoughts eventually become actions. You may affect the way they think about you entirely. So, every day before you walk out of the house, take a look in the mirror. Put yourself in the shoes of the guys you will come in contact with. Check to  make sure that the way you are dressed is not tempting. That you will actually be able to have a conversation with him with both of you focused on the topic. If your outfit limits your ability to have a focused conversation together, swap it out for another outfit.

"So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." 
1 Corinthians 10:31
     Yes, this includes the way you dress. You can dress in a way that honors God. Think of this every time you look in the mirror at your outfit, "If Jesus was standing next to me, would I wear this?" And ultimately, He is. He is everywhere, all the time. He is right next to you, right now. Remember that whenever your thinking of doing something unpleasing to your Heavenly Father.
