Ginny - TWM Day 15

Good Morning Girlz!!!  Everybody have a good weekend!!!

S - 1 Timothy 2:9-10

O - I'm reminded time and time again through this study on 1 Timothy 2:9-10, that our appearance is truly a heart issue.  Outlandish or not...where is my heart?  What is its motive?  Have I come to worship or come to impress?

A - I struggled with this a few years back when I was going to FBC.  I had broken up with a guy and we were both still attending and involved in our Sunday School class at FBC.  Every Sunday I would plan to the nth degree what I would wear and what I would look like.  I wanted to be the best looking girl in that class and make him wonder why he ever broke up with me.  This went on for months until he moved away and I finally realized the game I had been playing and how exhausting it was.  When I finally made up my mind that putting this much time and effort into my clothing didn't matter, it was like a weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  It was a heart issue and my heart had been focussed on the wrong thing.  There is so much more to going to church then what we look like.  Giving our best to the Lord - yes, but doing it for wordly pleasures is not a pure motive.

P - Lord I pray that in my appearance (at church or anywhere else) that I dress to please You not someone else.  Keep my heart's motives on what is important.
