Today I wish to share with you a very important topic - developing an attitude of modesty. A godly young woman should adorn herself with this beautiful aspect of purity, because modesty is so much more than simply dressing in a way that will not cause others to stumble, it is truly a heart issue.
A Christian young woman’s attitude towards modesty is one of the things that sets her apart from the world. When dressing modestly, the goal is to draw attention to your countenance, not your body. When people look at your countenance, it should be a reflection of Christ and of purity, certainly not of immodesty! It is such a shame to see a young lady who is dressed with the intention of modesty, and yet all is wasted because her attitude does not shine with purity. But a godly young woman can be a powerful witness with her life - when people look unto her countenance they see Christ, they see radiant purity, and they realize that she is set apart. She brings honor to God and to her father.
So what is a modest attitude? A modest attitude is something that is easily recognizable, yet sometimes difficult to describe, so I will not be able to point out all aspects of a modest attitude. I encourage you to go to the scriptures and search for yourself to see all that the Lord tells us on this subject. One aspect of a modest attitude is certainly a meek and quiet spirit - A young woman who does not seek to draw attention to herself by speaking loudly or boastfully about herself, but instead uses her life as a witness and a tool for sharing the Gospel with others. She seeks to uplift Christ, and to draw attention unto Him, not to herself.
