    1/2

    Before you fall in love with your

    spouse, you must fall in love with the

    Lord!I don't want to touch another brothers future wifeor even share personal things with her. And Idon't want my future wife to have been touched byone of my brothers. Think of it. You may behugging or kissing your best friends spouse. WhenI get out of a relationship I want to be able to lookback and know that what I did was pleasing toGod.

    Immodesty reflects a sensual attitude,

    whereas attractiveness reflects a sense

    of self worth and dignity.

    It's really difficult to keep your mind on

    the Lord during service when there is asister who is sitting close to you and isdressed in a way that the standards arebeing pushedeven if you aren'tnecessarily interested in her.

    Thank you for giving us the chance to expressourselves. For some of us I know this is a verypassionate subject.

    Immodesty is anything that brings

    unnecessary or too much attention

    to one's self.

    Please, a thousand times please, before you leavewherever you get dressed; lean over in front of amirror. Any cleavage is too much.

    In the past whenever a young lady has erred awayfrom the side of caution concerning her language andtopic of speech, we as young men have mentioned

    things (later when we are back in the dorms, motelroom, etc.) like "I was surprised she said that" or"well, that was interesting..." It doesn't look good for

    the young lady.

    I really appreciate those who display themselveswith proper clothing, long hair, little or no makeup,and Christian conversation.

    I haven't discovered the right one yet because ofimmodesty (mostly in dress, but also behavior) that hasswept the Body of Christ amongst young ladies. It isdiscouraging because you think that "there is no one forme", but I know that there is one for me. I don't have torush things or eagerly look for her, God will give her tome; and when He does, I will know.

    Dedication in worship, prayer, and reading theBible are other characteristics that Iconsider tobe attractive; and are very importantqualifications.

    Be happy when you feel a conviction!

    Sisters of the body of Christ! It's ok to be

    different!!! It's ok to be set apart!!

    Dress like you were going to dinner with

    Jesus.

    Why is it even important?

    Modest

    Thou shalt love the Lordthy God with all thy heart,and with all thy soul, and

    with all thy strength, and withall thy mind; and thyneighbor

    as thyself.

    Luke 10:27

    2/2

    SEEKto love and please Jesus, your Heavenly Prince, with

    all your heart and in everything you do and pursue apersonal relationship with Him.

    BUILDyour life upon the principles of the Word of God.

    CULTIVATEa pure heart toward your brothers in Christ.

    UNDERSTANDthat young men are affected greatly by

    what they SEE and struggle daily to keep their thoughts

    pure.

    CAREenough to do a heartcheck anda mirrorcheck

    before walking out the door.

    CHOOSEattractive, yet modestclothing and behavior.

    DOyour {future} husband good and not evilALL the days

    ofYOUR life.

    How then can young ladies help youngmen to maintain their integrity before

    God?

    What does God say to young men

    regarding young ladies?

    JOB 31:1I made a covenant with mine eyes;

    why then should I think upon a maid?PROVERBS7

    My son, keep my wordsand, behold,

    there met him a woman with the

    attire of an harlot, and subtil of

    heartLet not thine heart decline to

    her ways, go not astray in her paths.

    For she hath cast down many

    wounded: yea, many strong men have

    been slain by her. Her house is theway to hell, going down to the

    chambers of death.

    PROVERBS 31Who can find a virtuous woman? For

    her price is far above rubiesThe

    heart of her husband doth safely

    trust in her, so that he shall have no

    need of spoil. She will do him good and not

    evil all the days of her life.

    I find it more attractivewhen a

    young lady looks as though she

    loves the Lord more than herself!

    We need some time to get our lives in

    order, so that we can provide for a

    familymaybe we like a girl but aren't

    pursuing as fast as they think we

    should be. That's because we don't

    want to mess something up.

    Please don't TRY to attrac t a guy. Instead,BE the kind of woman that a godly man would

    want as a wife and you WILL be attractive to

    the right man!

    Modesty doesn't make you holy, but

    because your God is making you holy,

    you display modesty.

    Guys talk about girls standards . We

    are afraid we are losing what Godhas convicted us to look for in

    women. I know the young men

    have disappointed you in some ways,

    too. Pray for us to be strong,

    steadfast, meek, and godly as well.

    Every man wants to feel secure in the

    woman he marries and modesty adds

    so much to that security.
