When I was, "in the world" I loved to wear my tight fitting clothes, I liked to talk to guys that were no good for me, engaging in activities that were definitely questionable considering I was "saved", I just felt like I had to be like the girls I saw on tv.
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? (Matthew 16:26 NKJV).
When I fully decided to live my life for Christ I realized that my worldly lifestyle had to die. Boys would tell me all the time "Girl you are so Thick" or "You are fine" I realized that if I was going to be advertising my body by wearing tight clothes; how could I get mad when all he wanted to do was to have sex with me?? Or if I was at the club how could I get mad if a guy grabbed me? I'm the one in there stomping around with this little dress on. So I got rid of all the tight revealing clothing, stop hanging out with the wrong people, and deleted useless phone numbers out of my phone. I realized I had to practice what I preached. I want you to be attracted to the God in me rather than the physical assets He has blessed me with. (1 Peter 3:3-5) As Christian woman we have to realize that how we carry ourselves is everything. Just because we are in the world doesn't mean we have to be of the world. We are to be virtuous women (Proverbs 31). So yes, if you want a guy to respect you and not think of you as just some loose girl you need to:
1.) stop posting all these vulgar lyrics on twitter and Facebook.
2.) stop going out half naked and having to pull your clothes down every time you get up.
3.) stop posting half naked pictures on social networks (you are asking for Him to notice your "goodies" and not see you for the beautiful young lady God has made you to be)
4.) Stop going out and getting drunk! If you're out every weekend taking shot after shot, everybody is going to know you are a loud party girl that he can hit and soon forget (just being honest)
5.) This is a big one: Please, please, please, stop putting out all your sexual activities! Nobody needs to know what you do, who you do it with, and how good you do it! Leave something to the imagination.
Sisters, please know that I'm not fussing at you, I'm just tired of seeing some of us not knowing our worth.We have got to stop seeking approval from man. We she should live our life to please God and to seek His approval. I love you all and God loves you like crazy ! We are made in Gods image and we must represent Him well.
Love You All,
Zanda <3
It is a challenge but it is well worth it. The men of this world shouldn't be what we are searching for or seeking approval from
