No He didn’t…because Jesus doesn’t call us to be hot.
You aren’t going to get to the gates and have Jesus ask you…
“Hey Brittany… did you wear that totally trendy suede mini-skirt that made all the boys stare at your booty? The one that gets you 200 likes on insta?”
No.
He will not, because He wants you to focus on a life that is different than the world’s calling. He calls us to glorify Him through our lives.
And this includes through your body.
Your body serves one purpose. The purpose of your body is to be a sacrifice for the Lord. Your hands and feet should be used to spread His name. Your life is meant to be given to the One who gave you life.
The minute you think your body was created to be gawked at by guys is the minute you forget about your eternal purpose.
I struggle with this topic and living out this truth. This is not me acting holier than thou and as if I have it all together. However, I know my goal for today and tomorrow is the body the Lord created will be used to serve Him. Nothing is wrong with a cute dress, and putting on some makeup; however, never allow yourself to think hot is your goal of the morning.
Instead, pray to have the fruits of the spirit. Pray to seek your Creator, not men or fashion statements. And most importantly pray that today you can use your body to glorify the Lord.
Romans 12:1 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God–this is your true and proper worship.”
