Subject: Is our dress a reflection of our heart? |
Bible Note: CDBJ and Mommapbs, To the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever! Mommapbs, There was a tug in my heart when I read your post about your son. Is all well? I would be very happy to pray with you at any time about any thing. My e-mail address is in my profile. I read your posts about the way we dress and is it a reflection of our heart. Memory fails me with regard to scripture at this time but I would like to comment on this and maybe the scripture I've attached would be helpful. (KJV) Col 3:23, 24 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. I believe with you that we need to search our hearts when we dress. If we are doing everything as unto the Lord then I shall dress acceptable before the Lord each day! Not to please man or women. This does not me that I will wear worn clothing to my office, I am a manger. I wear that which is acceptable to my business. Just to share a story about dressing in the house of God: There was a woman, about 30 years of age, that attend our Sunday school class. She would wear tight dresses and one time she wore a dress with very thin shoulder straps with a very thin or no bra. The reason I and others knew that this is because she was cold, get the idea. Well, men are men, and men are weak sometimes in this area, and men were looking. It was an uncomfortable situation. I'm not judging her, I'm just sharing this to point out that if dress as men/women pleasers we distract ourselves and others from the Lord's service. Always your brother in Christ Jesus whom I love with my whole heart! Cyclist |
