Thanks girls for all of your comments and advice. It really does help when we realize other girls are going through the same things, tell themselves the same stupid stuff, so we can realize it is stupid. So, just thanks.

Rachel,
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, you bring up some good points to ponder. First off; remember God is looking at your heart, not your outward appearance. I do believe as Christian woman, it is our responsiblity to honor God by the way we dress. As far as make-up, hair styles, fashion clothing… those things in and of themselves are not bad. Looking “your best” and feeling good about that, are important, however, that should not become the means by which you find your identiy. How special you are, how loved you are, should always come from you position with Christ. As long as you are secure in that, you will dress appropriately. I agree, the way we dress is an extension of our personality, and that can be a good thing. When you talk about dressing “sexy” I take that to mean, you are dressing in a way particularly to get the attention of boys, perhaps forsaking modesty. If that is your intention in the particular outfit you choose to wear, that may be inappropriate. Always check your motives…. are you dressing a particular way just to express yourself, keeping in mind that you belong to Jesus, or are you dressing for attention? I think it is wonderful when girls develop a style of dress that is both expressive and becoming on them. Accssories is another way to be expressive with you wardrobe. The scriptures tell us to Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul. If you are keeping this in mind, dressing appropriately will not be an issue. Keep your eyes on Jesus while you are expressing yourself through the clothes/make-up you wear…Blessings!

Do you think God would be angry at me for wearing make-up and pretty clothes? Because those are things that I LIKE to do, and I don’t feel that I HAVE to, I just love to do make-up and work on my hair, is that a sin? Is it a sin to just want to look your best? Of course I think it is great for a girl to be able to walk around without make-up and just confident in herself, but I found my outward appearence as a way of showing my inner personality, is that wrong? I straighten my hair and wear make-up and shop for nice clothes, but I don’t understand why that is treated as such a negative thing? Because I think God wouldn’t mind me doing things that I like to do? I am a girly girl, and I kind of wonder if me wanting to look my best for other people is necessairly a bad thing, isn’t it okay to want to make the most of God’s creation: me? I think that appearence is such an important part of today’s society that it is okay to be able to look your best? My clothes express who I am. It is possible to look your best or even look “sexy” and still love yourself and be loved by others for your personality…I think? Any thoughts?

I love this one!! I hate that everyone is so wrapped up in their physical appearence. i used to be like that.. and as a result i lost a lot of my personality. i lost a chance to grow as a person because i was too busy trying to look good. Now, i’ve figured out that it truly is more important to be a real person on the inside than an attractive-looking person on the outside. i also realized that i dont want to attract people that are attracted to me because of my outward appearance. To me, it is more important that i make friends and hold relationships because people like me based on who i am as a person, the values i hold and the things i find important, rather than who likes the way i look or how i dress.

Thank you all for your encouragement. You’re right, what really matters is having an inside makeover done by Jesus. Hey Nokoshie, love the comment about the FLOWER.
