Dressing cute and keeping up with the latest trends can be a lot of fun. God isn’t against that—He actually wants us to enjoy the life He gave us! In John 10:10, Jesus says He came so we could have a full, abundant life. We experience that kind of life when we follow Jesus’ example and walk in God’s love every day.
One way we show God’s love and shine as His children is by the way we dress. Modesty matters because we belong to God, and our bodies are His temples. When we choose outfits that honor Him, we’re showing the world that we represent His Kingdom.
1 Timothy 2:9-10 (NLT) says, “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.”
This verse reminds us that as young women of God, we should choose clothing that doesn’t show too much skin. Instead of trying to get attention with what we wear, God wants our true beauty to come from the good things we do—our kindness, our character, and the way we live for Him.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have your own style or enjoy fashion. It just means we should avoid clothing that shows too much of our bodies or pulls attention away from who we really are in Christ.
In the end, we don’t want to idolize our bodies or let our looks define us. As we grow in Christ, our goal is to let our actions, kindness, and the way we treat others be the most beautiful thing about us.
