Did You Know?

A secure girl...

understands that her true beauty comes from the inside, not from her clothes or her outward appearance. She uses fashion to accent her beauty, not as a wary to define herself or give herself worth. She has found her own style-one she feels comfortable in, not one she's using to get attention or to simply blend in.

You Are Beautiful!

“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Familiar saying, but do we understand the magnitude of this thought in relation to the way God sees us? God looks upon us with love, and sees us as a beautiful creature He created. He loves us so much that He gave His Son Jesus to provide a way for us to enjoy eternal fellowship with Him.

Somehow, on our worst hair day, or the time of the month when our clothes fit a bit tighter and our nerves are on edge, it is hard to imagine that the God of all creation would consider us beautiful. But He does. Even on our bad hair days! Society, on the other hand, will try and tell us that beauty is only skin deep – and that the newest procedures, products, and pills will be the answer to our most pressing image issues. Which will we believe? The cosmetic industry’s marketing mantra, or the Father who created us in His image?

God is head over heels in love with you and me, and desires for us to reflect His light to the world. Can you imagine? We can stand firm on this truth, knowing that God will always look to the beauty within us; the Spirit’s presence that guides us and helps us reflect the true beauty that comes from being a child of God Most High. Don’t toss to and fro to the tide of advertising schemes and skewed image requirements – stand strong on God’s Word, and delight in the promise that it is our inner beauty that pleases God.

We have to be careful what we watch, because the people who make movies don't care about us; we are a consumer to them. All they want to do is sell us lifestyles that we already know are dangerous and harmful to our health and our heart. Movies that encourage degrading conduct and poor life choices are rampart and people completely ignore the effect they have on the way we think.

Our early years are when we are being FORMED-MOLDED like clay? If our character is being "molded" like clay on the potter's wheel, then we should want to know whose hands our character is being molded by! Is Jesus the potter of our character or is the WORLD? (Hollywood? Friends? My Social Network?) Who is in charge of the finished product when we approach 30? Maybe we should be more intentional about who or what we allow to mold us.

You cannot limit the power of modesty to just what you wear. It’s also controlled or forfeited by where you are willing to go with guys, when you go there, and how you act.

A modest woman appears more confident than those who wear less. It’s as if she doesn’t feel the need to rely on her figure to announce her value. …Such confidence serves as a repellent to superficial guys. Honorable attire serves as an invitation to honorable men.

True feminine beauty is not a complicated formula involving hundreds of rules to remember. It’s not something that requires spending two years at finishing school or being groomed as a beauty pageant queen. True feminine beauty is the natural by-product of a young woman who has emptied herself, given up her own life, and allowed God’s Spirit complete access to every dimension of her inner and outer life.

You should dress fashionably, but modestly. You want to be remembered for your personality (which is unique) not your cleavage (which looks exactly like everyone else’s).

Dating before you’re ready to consider marriage is asking for trouble because a girl may have to deal with sexual pressure……………....Shouldn’t a girl’s security and sense of self-worth come from her relationship with the Lord and not from whether she has a date every Friday night…? She should know that her true strength, courage, and purity can only come from God.

True beauty lies in purity of the heart. ~ Mohandas Ghandi

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment . . . Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. ~ 1 Peter 3:3,4

To be pure, to remain pure, can only come at
 a price. This price is knowing God and loving Him enough to do His
 will. He will always give us the strength we need to keep purity as
 something beautiful for Him. 

                                              ~ Mother Teresa

Other “Christian” girls may watch the same movies, listen to the same music, wear the same clothes, and have all the same pop-culture addictions as the rest of the world with just slightly higher morals tacked on. But God has called us to a higher standard-- the very standard of Christ. And it is time we become worthy of the call we have all received.

~Set Apart Femininity by Leslie Ludy

The quiet, sensible girl runs a far better chance of coming to pure, wholesome womanhood.

❃ ❃ ❃

There is no more beautiful adornment to womanly character than purity and a girl does well to see that everything that concerns her dress and behavior when away from home, on the street, or otherwise in the eyes of the public, is decent, clean, modest, and quiet.

❃ ❃ ❃

A girl is generally taken at her face value; that is, she is thought to be just what she appears to be. Some people will take the time to know her as she is; but the great majority in they’re minds pass judgments on appearances only. Nor are they far wrong in doing so. There are not many of us who can for very long keep up with a false appearance. Our real selves will show through
