A friend and I were talking a while back (you may notice a
trend in my posts…oftentimes I get ideas from conversations with others) and we
were discussing what is at the heart of modesty. Some think of it as shame. Modesty and fully covering one’s self is
because you should be ashamed of what you could do with yourself…like use your
body wrongly. But this is completely not
the reason why modesty is so important.

Modesty, on the contrary, is to protect a precious
pearl. You are beautiful. God created you beautiful and exactly the way
you should be. And that is amazing. However, God also created you to share your
life in that special way for that one special guy. Modesty, covering one’s self appropriately,
and acting in a ladylike and godly manner, protects that pearl and saves it
from the harsh elements of the world. If
exposed, that pearl is beaten and chipped until it is barely recognizable as
the beautiful pearl that God created.
But if we behave according to how He would want us to, it is a beautiful
thing that we cherish and modesty is one of the means we have in protecting
that.
