Skimpy

Looking through peoples photo albums on Facebook this afternoon because I was bored, I noticed that so many of the photos are of my friends, dressed with low cut shirts, short shorts (and I mean short!) and their make-up done perfectly, usually in the position of leaning down, smiling, and looking in the mirror in their bathroom. "Seriously?" I ask myself. What do you think people are going to say, think and ask after you post these on Facebook?
I read comments like "Sexxyy <3" "Wowza" "smokin hot babe!" With boys thinking about sex about every 14 seconds (ages 14-25) what kind of thoughts do you think are rushing through their heads at that moment?
I even remember seeing a picture of a girl wearing a presentable shirt but her comment underneath was " thought I'd put away my boobies this time!" Now guys posted things like "awe, I miss your boobies!"
What kind of people are these anyway? These are guys who go to my youth group, who come to church, who serve with our Children's ministry!

Our battle for sexual purity does not rest in technical purity. No, We must guard ourselves from all impurity. Girls who dress like they are whores are going to be treated as such. And if your thinking is of the "Even if I'm on a diet it doesn't mean I can't look at the food" type, then wake up! How hard is it to just look at the food and not indulge or even imagine yourself indulging. As girls we should be Encouraging our brothers to stay pure in thought, and for you guys, learn to bounce your eyes. don't let them rest on a tempting object.

I know this can be hard, I still have many, many struggles. But remember that we are not alone in this battle, we have help! God is with us in every situation, including this one!

"No temptation has seized you beyond what you is common to man. And God is fathful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
1st Corinthians 10:13
