Your Modest MaidensThe World wants to see their bodies
It wants them to disobey
It wants to misuse Your maidens
It’s for them that I now pray
Give Your strength to all Your maidens
Shower mercy on Your maids
Grace Your daughters to be modest
It’s for them Your sons do pray
Help them understand how pretty
They are when they watch their dress
They’re attractive when they’re modest
When they find in You their rest
Your sons do appreciate it
When Your daughters dress for You
Help them see how we are thankful
When they’re modest, serving You
Help them realize Your Glory
Is at stake in what they wear
Help them place their hope in Jesus
Oh God hear my humble prayer
Make their First Love be for Jesus
It’s for Him that they do live
It’s not men for whom they’re modest
No, they live their lives for Him
I found this poem written by Andrew Nicewander on his website (http://www.soli-deo-gloria.net). I thought it was very good...it kind of corresponds with the "Letter from Christian Guys", about how Christian guys want girls to dress modestly. This poem points out something very important: that they are not dressing modestly for men, but for God. In the last verse it says that our first love should be for Jesus only and that's what Christian men want. If we put Jesus Christ first in our lives, and rest in Him, we will WANT to dress modestly.
Be sure and check out the rest of Andrew's stuff on his website...(by the way, Andrew took the flower picture as well.)

I'm still having problems with my dress. So that helps a bunch. But at least I don't wear low cut shirts anymore. No matter how cute. *Grimaces* must resist!
