WHAT YOUR APPEARANCE SAYS ABOUT YOU!

From the desk of Dr. Mary Tisdale Green

RECOVER ALL WEDNESDAY

I was reading this article and thought it is good to share, by Janet Treadway,so here we go.

A man standing off to the side, in front of a church, dressed in baggy, torn clothes, unshaven and very unkempt. As the members went into the church, they had to pass this man. Not one member stopped to greet the man. All ignored him and looked the other way. The next week the pastor announced that he was the man who had been in front of the church the previous week, dressed in old clothes!
The minister then read James 2:2-4: While God looks inside, at everyone's heart, we humans are generally only able to judge others by what we see. Every Christian lives in a "window" before the world and is responsible to properly represent the principles set forth in the Scriptures. This is true for all men and women regardless of their age. Girls who want to reflect the Christian value of modesty should be aware of their bodies and how they project themselves to others. As 1 Peter 3:3-6 .
The word modest means "having a sense of shame or reverence" and indicates soberness and soundness of mind - that of down-to-earth, sensible, considerate people. Modesty refers primarily to a genuine personal concern about the response your dress and behavior produce in the heart and mind of another person. A godly woman's clothing should properly cover her body (Genesis 3:21) in such a way (fashion) as to cause no problems in the thoughts of the men around her. Tight-fitting, revealing or suggestive clothing on a woman can advertise loose morals, poor taste or immaturity and send the wrong message to the opposite sex.Young men should also be modest. How we dress affects every aspect of our lives. So what does your appearance say to others? More importantly, what does it say to God?
