Wardrobe Check!

I was in Walmart the other day with my mom buying groceries. Mom and I had turned the corner of an aisle and I noticed a women and a teenage girl walking together in front of us. I didn't really pay any attention to the women, who I assumed was the teenage girl's mother, but the girl stood out to me.

She was around 14 or 15 years old and was wearing way to much eye-makeup, specifically eyeliner. She was wearing a thin tank top with a low scoop neck and really tight short-shorts. Let's just say that she was trying way to hard to be noticed. I thought ' I would never wear that!' and even if I wanted to, my mom would never let me leave the house looking like that! She turned and looked at me and I noticed how unhappy she looked. When I saw her face it made me really think. I thought to myself that I wish that all teen girls felt precious and loved. I wish that all of them felt they were worth more than the cheap way they present themselves.

All of these thoughts popped into my head faster than a speeding bullet. I was flooded by the Spirit with a longing for the girls of my generation to realize the great value that God places on them.


Next time that you open your closet, think about the way that you present yourself and the way that others will see you. Is your wardrobe God-honoring?
