I was just looking through a Victoria's Secret catalog and this was the swimsuit edition so even more skin. I was just disgusted at what I saw. The message that these women are sending is one of seduction and promiscuousness. The bottom line being sin. They definitely don't leave much to the imagination that is for sure! And these images are all over the place in magazines, tv commercials, movies, billboards and more. We are allowing men to see us as something far less than what we are worth. I want a guy who sees me as a woman of God who is living her life to serve others and someone who could possibly be a loving life partner, and not just someone to satisfy his sexual cravings. A lot of times we blame the men, i'm not saying they aren't at fault, but the women of our culture are not helping our image of beauty and purity. I believe that women should have a sense of mystery about them. Not "Hey here i am all out here, come get me". Ladies, don't you want to keep yourself sacred and unblemished for that one man you well be with forever? I know I do. This subject just really bothers me because we (majority of women) aren't teaching young girls and teens how to view themselves in a different light. They see all of this sex on tv and just assume that is how life is supposed to be. They follow by example. This means that the problem will just keep getting worse. Are you setting a good example for girls and women around you? It is my passion to live my life to please my heavenly Father and in turn show others that there is a better way than that of the world. We don't have to be a sex simple in this modern culture.
Sadly, we can't choose the world in which we live in. I pray that I do my part to effect other women around me and I hope that you do to.
Men, there are so many things that I would like all of you to hear, but I'll keep it short. Try to turn your eyes away from the worldly view of women and see them as God's creation. Encourage the women around you to be modest. God created us to be your helpmate, not to satisfy your every need. Only God can ultimately satisfy each and every one of us.
It just makes me sad how women feel so insecure or unloved that they feel the need to flaunt their bodies to get attention. And I don't think that this is new to our culture today, it has been around for a very long time. I think it is just more public now.
Sometimes I just wish that people would stop being stupid and just live the way that God intended us to. I wish we were all less selfish and more loving toward others. I wish humans weren't so corrupt.... I'm glad I have Jesus... I wish everyone knew Him.
So I just needed to shake out into words the thoughts that were running through my mind.
