I do

To the girl who dresses modestly, and thinks nobody notices. I do.

To the girl who is constantly weighed down by the pressures of culture to dress provocatively, and doesn't, I notice.

To the girl who tries her best to please God through her attire, and thinks nobody is aware. I am.

To the girl who isn't sure if it's important to be aware of her standards and aim to please God through every way. It is.

To the girl who remains stable in a world full of instability and quickly descending morals. Thank you.

Thank you for not faltering.
Thank you for not changing.
Thank you for remaining.
Thank you for continuing in holiness.

Yeah, it's a God thing, and without holiness, no one will see God. We are holy to please God. But when a girl dresses modestly, it's incredibly helpful to guys.
Guys continually are engaged in battle with their mind, mainly through the avenue of their eyes to fight against immorality.
When a girl dresses unsuitable to help other guys, it brings them down.

It doesn't help the battle. It worsens it.
It's difficult to talk to a girl if they're dressed inappropriately, because, although words are being exchanged, a war is being fought in the mind.
Some battles are easier, some battles contain more challenges. But there is a war, regardless.
I don't know a guy that doesn't deal with this.
It's natural.
God gave the human male a natural attraction for females.
But what about lust? It's sin.
So, therefore, it's a continual battle that goes on in the hearts of guys across the globe.
Some don't fight. Some don't even try. But I do. Holiness isn't just for females, it's for males as well. Holiness in the mind and purity in the heart is one of the greatest challenges for men.

So, to the girl who takes it seriously.
To the girl who appreciates holiness.
To the girl who respects herself enough to dress modest.
....and isn't sure that people actually notice.


I do.
