BREAKING UP WITH SEXY

Acknowledging Sexy
Breaking up with sexy doesn ’ t mean you have to find your nearest turtleneck and long skirt . It doesn ’ t mean you must completely throw out all of your not so Godly attire . Breaking up with Sexy is to reveal the mindset of many women today and to remove the veil over eyes to show that breaking up with sexy can be a liberating experience . In today ’ s day and age we are swarmed with social media models and the unruly standards of society . However , as women of faith we are held to a different standard . Not the standard of the world , but what is acceptable in the sight of God . How exactly do you breakup with sexiness ? First you must be willing to step out from amongst the crowd and be different . You must be willing to add more Godliness to your attire regardless of the occasion . Although , we vaguely see it in the modern media we must be the ones to stand apart and reveal Christ through our everyday life including our fashion choices .
Cons of being Sexy
Sexy is derived from the word sex and although in our modern culture it is flattering to be called sexy we must understand what sexiness truly portrays . The definition of sexy is exciting or sexually aroused . That is a form of lust . Many times our sexiness will cause others to lust . In Proverbs Chapter 6 and 7 it talks about the wanton woman . A seductress who uses her sexiness to get men . She uses her beauty in a provocative way to seduce men into being with her . Now we must ask ourselves are we very different ? Are we too operating like the wanton woman of the bible ? When we acknowledge that our sexiness can cause damage to ourselves and others , then we will be more willing to put the sexiness behind us . We are not meant to be stumbling blocks in the life of others , but a light to shine into their darkness . An example of Christ and a representation of his pureness and love .
Finding the root of our sexiness
Breaking up with sexy may seem weird since everywhere you look girls are half dressed and everyone is amazed at their physique . It is challenging to go against what every fashion statement of the world and be modest . But many times a lot of us as Christian women see nothing wrong with sexiness including myself at one time . Although , we must acknowledge that sexy is not a bad thing in the context of marriage . But many single women operate in sexiness and we fail to ask ourselves why . Why do I desire to be sexy ? Many of us gravitate towards sexiness to be acknowledged or desired . It boosts our ego to feel as if all eyes are on us . Also to be acknowledged in the world or with guys is usually another factor . Many women think they have to dress a certain way or show a certain type of sexy to get a man . Unfortunately , going against sexiness can cause fear to rise up like ... What if He doesn ’ t think I am beautiful ? What if he no longer finds me attractive ? What if I never get asked out on a date ? These questions of insecurities could pop in ,
