Does God Care About My Wardorbe?

Hello, everyone. :)
 I'm hoping you're all having a great week. The other day, I was out and about and I noticed that a lot of young girls and women were wearing very showy and revealing outfits. As a Christian, I found this to be very disturbing and was saddened at the thought of what God saw in them. Awhile ago, I'd read a lovely and godly book on this specific topic called The Look: Does God Really Care What I Wear? given to me as a gift by one of my aunts. I would strongly recommend it to any young woman. The book, by Nancy Leigh Demoss, shows one that what you wear does matter to God. The Bible says in 1 Peter 3:3-


"Do not let your adorning be external - the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear..."

This means that we shouldn't strive to be pretty on the outside (by loading on tons of bling or spending hours on making your hair just right), but perceive to be inwardly beautiful, which is most pleasing to the Lord.
 Being inwardly beautiful doesn't mean that one must dress on the outside in a long, limp gray sack and wear your hair in a strict-looking style. God says that our bodies are His temple and we should take good care of it. Try to dress in ways that please the Lord and wouldn't make a person pay too much attention to your physical appearance; instead, act kindly and let your inner woman of faith shine.

  I really enjoyed writing this post for all my readers and hope to blog again soon. :)
 Until next time!
