In thinking about what this initial post should consist of it was interesting how women and what they wear seem to take priority over Presidential talks, political rallies, and whatever is considered news at the moment. The news today, would you believe it, included this very topic but not from where you'd expect. Would you believe, Indonesia? JAKARTA — "About 50 women in Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, donned miniskirts to protest remarks by the Jakarta city governor who blamed a recent gang rape on the victim's choice of clothing."
Hmmm! What women wear is a hot topic no matter where you look. And that is the reason, as both a mother and grandmother of "girls" this subject is so serious to me. And hopefully if it is not now it will also become one that you take seriously as well.
As Christian women are we more concerned about our "rights" to do as we wish than we are about how our life [words, actions, attitudes...and yes, even our attire] affects others?
"...whatsoever a man [woman] soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting." Galatians 6:7-8
My prayer is that we all will realize - and be so grateful - that our life can be used of God for someone's good, rather than possibly causing a negative, when we establish graceful modest habits in all areas of our life.
