"I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness-with good works. Let a woman learn quietly in with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet."
1 Timothy 2:8-13
Today in my quiet time I went over these verses and they were just a sweet reminder of what should be the focus of a godly woman. We should adorn ourselves with good works and not with things that this world offers us. It is not important how we look on the outside but much more how we are on the inside. We can be beautiful, have wonderful eyes, well done hair, wonderful clothing...but have not a heart that wants to live for God, ready to obey, ready to show love, mercy, grace...etc.
Should we look trashy? Not at all, but our main focus should be becoming a better woman who pleases God, that knows Him more. Our goal should not be to catch the eye of any man but to get to see God saying "Good job, my dear!".
