Modesty is not for Men, Its for My God!

<sup>Modesty is one of the main topics in the church that is either over taught or hardly mentioned. The type of modesty taught to so many young and impressionable Christian girls is, you need to cover up so that you do not become a stumbling block of sin for your brothers in Christ. 

However, the teachings of my parents on modesty are quite different. My parents taught me to honor the Lord that I serve with the clothes I wear, how I treat others, the language I use, etc. Not once did they mention how men are visual creatures who cannot control themselves. They also didn't capitalize on the "emotional aspect" of young ladies. They focused more on the importance of understanding who I was and whose I was.
 
The Bible speaks on modesty in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 and it says, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." Being modest shouldn't be about another human's sinfulness. It's about understanding who you belong to and letting the world know by how you present yourself.
