Ladies: you are a gift. Ultimately in God’s plan most young ladies will be a gift to some blessed young man who “finds a good thing”.

 Proverbs 18:22 Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the LORD.

Usually a gift comes wrapped, and wrapped in beautiful wrapping, completely concealed to be opened only by one who is the true recipient of the gift. Our gift wrap as Christians, always covers and leaves only to the imagination what is inside. A gift can only be given as a surprise,  only once.  It will only bring that certain value of appreciation, the first time.  Only once will it be new.

For women, the Bible admonishes a wrapping that will only bring that “new” feeling and show it’s special nature as a gift to a man of character, only once. Once a gift is violated, that feeling of lost perfection and worth is never forgotten by most women.   A woman’s clothing can be considered like a wrapping paper that hides a true gift and renders self respect.  Surely today it is a rare prize to be one who isn’t unwrapped before it’s time given honor of true love.

However, today’s fashion will seek to open the gift before it is given.  The temptation to be  sexy becomes an advertisement of the one’s gift that would have been to someone special being construed as a toy for any man.   In a sea of valueless words, what could have been gold is treated as tin, rendering it as something of  diminished value becoming something  for any junk dealer to throw on a stack of trash. The true appreciation for the gift is lost on any one though not serious, on the street.

The Scriptures say that ladies should be wrapped in modest apparel, covered remaining in beautiful gift wrap until the one who will appreciate all of you is received and appreciated.
