This is such an important subject! You should listen/watch this!!!!!! Want the truth? Here it is from a guy sharing his own struggles. It's all true. Don't use the excuse of you don't have time. It's not very long, but it could change who you are. Please, all of you girls out there, listen to what he has to say, and start putting it into action. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2n-NWbd3pis
I want everyone to know that I am a Christian and love the Lord, through dressing, and even acting modestly, we can show the world what women are supposed to be like. We're not competing with the men, trying to be one of them. We were created special and for a different purpose. I find that men act differently around me when I dress modestly, wear a skirt/dress, etc... I've even had at least one man thank me for wearing a skirt. He said that you don't see it very often, and it's true. It feels so good to be feminine. I just LOVE being a girl! I can still have fun, not be legalistic, and be modest all at once. Yes I wear jeans and shorts, but I choose them thinking about other people. Dressing immodestly is selfish. It's true. That's all it is. If you dress immodestly, you're proving that you don't care about your brothers in Christ. You want to draw attention to yourself, and don't care if people struggle. You don't think about it that way, but that's what it is.
I'm just trying to encourage you young women (or older, both young, and older men struggle, so both young and older women should dress modestly. Don't make other men, married or not, struggle with lust because of you!) to stand up to a challenge. It will change who you are.
To you girls who are trying to serve God in all ways, including modesty, good for you!!! I'm proud of you!!! You will reap the benefits in the end!!!....and I find that it comes before the end!!!! :) You may feel self-conscious because you stand out, but you can get over it. You will also be looked up to, and respected for your convictions.
