<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Top 10 Reasons Women Should Dress
Modestly</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center; clear: both;" class="yiv1645965244separator"><a style="margin-right: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-na91UtLbvRE/SdAk83_iOyI/AAAAAAAABjk/9xBwAey8uIQ/s1600/OLOG.jpg" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-na91UtLbvRE/SdAk83_iOyI/AAAAAAAABjk/9xBwAey8uIQ/s320/OLOG.jpg" width="187" height="320"></a></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>10 - Modesty reflects an understanding of who a woman truly
is.</b></div>
<div>Modesty starts inside a person's heart and mind. Who am I? Why do I exist?
If a woman answers she is a beautiful daughter of God, then modesty will
naturally follow.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>9 - Modesty isn't about dressing in unattractive clothes as some think
it is. </b></div>
<div>There are too many options in clothing to not give modesty a try. Yes, it
might not be the first thing on the rack you go shopping for, but it is worth
finding clothing that brings out a woman's beauty without revealing too
much.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>8 - Modesty attracts the kind of guys you ought to want to
attract.</b></div>
<div>If a woman is afraid that she must turn a man's eye by dressing immodestly,
then she should ask herself just what kind of guy does she want to
attract?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>7 - Mary dressed modestly.</b></div>
<div>Truly there is no more beautiful woman who ever lived than Mary. Why
wouldn't any woman want to be more like her?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>6 - It helps protect women.</b></div>
<div>A woman can still dress to be beautiful, but the mystery of a woman's body
is protected from being used. Modesty provides a needed defense against
usage.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>5 - It sets a good example for others.</b></div>
<div>Young girls and teens need good examples of beautiful women who are modest.
The attacks of immodest are Legion and we need a good counter-example.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>4 - Women are worthy of respect.</b></div>
<div>Respect can be easily lost when a woman tries to promote herself by being
immodest.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>3 - It helps your brothers to avoid lust.</b></div>
<div>Women would be shocked if they were to enter the head of the average modern
young man in a crowded room of immodest women. This isn't to blame an immodestly
dressed woman for a man's sin of lust. But, men today need all the help they can
get to fight lust and sin. Won't you help them?</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>2 - It shows true beauty.</b></div>
<div>A woman't true beauty comes from her dignity of being made in God's image.
If any woman wants to truly reflect God's beauty, it starts with modesty.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div><b>1 - It is a virtue.</b></div>
<div>Modesty is a virtue that helps control behavior so we do not excite the
sexuality of another. It is also a fruit of the Holy Spirit. All of us could use
more virtue in our lives.</div>

chastity.</b><br>Chastity helps us to properly order our sexuality. If we do not have custody of the eyes, it means our sexuality is dis-ordered toward objectification - not love - and needs to be healed.<br><br><b>7 - It is what every gentleman should do.</b><br>No woman who respects herself wants to be lusted after or looked up and down. No real gentleman would dishonor a woman by doing so.<br><br><b>6 - It helps a man to see the whole woman, not just parts of her body.</b><br>When most men see an immodestly-dressed woman, <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/science-news/4636689/Men-really-do-see-half-naked-women-as-objects-scientists-claim.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><i><font color="#3d85c6">their brains automatically start to objectify her</font></i></a>. Thus, men need to be able to see the truth about who a woman is - not just to break her down into objects he can use for his selfish pleasure.<br><br><b>5 - It avoids
scandal.</b><br>Think of King David. If he would have practiced custody of the eyes he might have been able to avoid much worse sins - adultery and murder. Now think of what happens when a man is caught in a lustful look toward a woman.<br><br>4 - <b>It helps fight off temptation.</b><br><div style="margin: 0px;">Men suffer from sexual temptation frequently. To have custody of the eyes helps a man to fight off an even stronger temptation of lusting after a woman after he ogles her.</div><br><b>3 - It helps our sisters not feel objectified.</b><br>If for no other reason, we should witness to the dignity of a woman by controlling our passions.<br><br><b>2 - It is a virtue we should chase after.</b><br>It is related to chastity, modesty, and temperance.<br><br><b>1 - It focuses us back on more important things.</b><br>"Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides." - Matt 6:33 <br>Christ
should be our first priority. Honoring the height of his creation (our sisters) should be the second. We should be third. <div style="clear: both;"></div></div><div class="yiv632804315post-footer"><div class="yiv632804315post-footer-line yiv632804315post-footer-line-1"><span class="yiv632804315post-author yiv632804315vcard">Posted by <span class="yiv632804315fn">Marcel</span> </span><span class="yiv632804315post-timestamp">at <a class="yiv632804315timestamp-link" title="permanent link" href="http://marysaggies.blogspot.com/2011/06/top-10-reasons-men-should-practice.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><font color="#3d85c6">12:30 PM</font></a> </span><span class="yiv632804315post-comment-link"><a class="yiv632804315comment-link" href="https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5094967570243723764&postID=942099106411068853&isPopup=true" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><font color="#3d85c6">3 comments</font></a></span></div></div><div>
