I started dressing more modestly and got rid of my full length mirror.
It honestly feels so good to not worry about what I look like. I just dress how I want. I used to dress for attention because all I wanted was love. I was going at it in an entirely wrong way of course. I would obsess over how I looked in my clothes. How my body looked. Make sure my makeup and my hair were perfect. I cared so much about what other people thought of me.
I spent so much time focusing on how I appeared in this world, when really what matters is who I actually am on the inside. It took me a long time to figure this out!
Once I started following Jesus, I began to have a whole different view of who I am and what I should be. I dove into His Word and layers of what I thought I needed to be fell off like an onion.
Honoring Him has helped me learn that this world is a temporary place. Nothing matters more than just serving Him. For me that includes respecting my body by dressing more modestly, in comfy clothes and not worrying about how I appear to everyone else.
I’m finally happy in my own skin. I get to teach my daughter all of this one day, too, and that’s the best part.
Remember that The Holy Spirit lives inside each of us. We are the temple, the church. Protect your bodies now, until you get a new one in Heaven. God bless, brothers and sisters.
“And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.”
1 Timothy 2:9-10 NLT
