"Raise your hands & touch your toes. If anything shows, go change your clothes."
I saw the above quote somewhere and I like it so I copied it in order to share it with you.
Dressing decently is a good thing and the best thing to do. It shows you are modest, have good morals and responsible.
I will be sharing with you 6 reasons why you should dress decently.
I believe this is going to help so read consciously.
First reason, the Bible admonished us to do all things decently and in order (you can see that in 1 Corithians 14:40). And when it says all things, it means all things including your dressing. Let your dressing be decent and in order.
Don't dress just anyhow with the mindset that it is your body. Of course no one is disputing the fact that it is your body. But dressing indecently is not the best and for the fact that we've seen scripturally that we should do all things including our dressing decently and in order should move us to dress well.
Second reason, it commands respect from people: have you seen that people tend to respect you for your dressing? When you dress well, people see you as matured and respect you. And truly, matured people can't dress irresponsibly.
Do you also know that, your dressing is you as a person? That's why Mattew 12:34 tells us "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh" and in Proverbs 23:7, it says, "for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."
Your dressing is you so dress well.
Thirdly, you feel comfortable: Yes! dressing decently makes you feel so comfortable. Let me quickly share something with you in line with this third reason.
Few days back while walking along the road, I saw a young lady and she was putting on a top (to me it was a top) but to her, it was a gown and I guess that was why she didn't get to wear probably a skirt or trousers underneath it.
While she was walking, she had to start using her hands to hold the "top-gown" to herself so that the breeze doesn't blow the "top-gown" away.
I was amazed at the funny scenario and I began to ask some questions in my mind, questions like:
What's she even trying to prevent?
Why does she have to undergo the stress of having to fight with the friendly breeze all because of her indecent dressing?
(I guess she will start passing unnecessary blame to the gentle breeze that's only doing its job)
Was it that she doesn't know the dress is suppose to be a top and not a gown?
You see all those questions I asked could have been asked and answered by the lady before she left the house and that would have saved her the unnecessary stress and inconveniences.
Do you now see why decent dressing makes you comfortable?
Fourth reason, you look good on decent dressing: if probably you've not been taking notice of this, just start from now and you'll see that those who dress decently usually look good and more responsible.
Those folks don't just look good only, they also attract good people to themselves.
They attract people of like minds, responsible minds and great minds.
Specifically for me, this is one of the major reason that attract me to people.
Fifth reason, your dressing is a message: your dressing is a message that people who looks at you reads which means in order to pass a positive message to people, dress properly.
Sixth reason, it boost your confidence: as a public speaker, I can tell you this is so true. Your dressing is going to affect the way you think and also affect the way you act. Do you want to boost your confidence then dress properly.
I believe you've learnt one or more things from this, do let me know in the comment section.
