FEMINITY AND MODESTY

You may wonder why it is necessary to find purpose in life when you are young, a young girl who drifts along letting things happen to her with no plan or purpose will become an old woman with the same failures. A person without a plan will be prey to destructive influences, but one who follows a time-worn path of success will avoid many pitfalls that are common to young ladies. Decide early if you want to have victory in your life and begin the steps to success.

God has put adults in our life (parents, grandparents, religious leaders and other leaders) for a reason. These people are not just doddering old folks or biological parents. They can actually warn you about things they have seen and experiences they have had, which can save you a lot of trouble. There is an old saying worth repeating, “Learn from the mistakes of others”. Other young people do not have the wisdom or understanding necessary to be good role models for you, though you can learn some good things from some of them. Associate with people who are having victory in their lives morally.

Before you follow the crowd or listen to anyone, have a good hard look at their lives. Be sure of how peaceful and productive they are as well as what they say. Your life will be just like the people you listen to, if you listen to foolish people who have nothing to show for their lives (people who have bad habits and vices, no home, no job, wasted talents, awkward talents, of bad reputation in the community, and many others), you will become just like them.

Associate with people whose lives are a reflection of what is lovely, true, good, pure, of good reputation and virtuous, who make wise use of money and possessions, and have steadfast of purpose in their lives. It is no secret that we become like the people we associate with the most.

One thing that stands out in my mind regarding friends is a warning to all young girls; avoid friends who dress carelessly, lack courtesy, awkward in talents, who do not have prospects or goals and ambition in life and to cap it all, friend who are not Godly. Though, you can through love for others, put the ones who are ready to make a change right by your modesty. This will save you many heartaches.

Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for others and be contented with people God has already placed in your life, such as sisters, brothers, parents, grandparents who are living right. These people can often provide you with a rich and meaningful social life.

BE GIRLS WHO LOVE GOD AND BELIEVE THAT THE GOOD LIFE IS FOUND IN HIM.
