A Simplistic View on Clothing
Greetings Sisters!
I hope this day finds you well and seeking the peace and joy and comfort in the promises of our Father in heaven!
Today I wanted to write about clothing and send a brief reminder that clothes are sin coverings. They are not to be a part of our personality, or be fashionable, or fancy, costly or pretty.
Clothing should be nothing more than loose cloth covering your body. Should we care if the world stares? Should we care if the world thinks we look frumpy or drab? Our clothing should mean nothing to us but a thankfulness that our Father has provided for us. Read Genesis 3 how He covered Adam and Eve. Just as if someone walked in on you in the shower... you would be thankful for a big blanket to toss over yourself to cover your nakedness, so should our clothes be.

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. 1 Timothy 6:6-8
What you wear can be a reflection of your heart. If you are seeking for name brands and fashion, vanity and pride....all will see it. It's not something that can be hidden, we should decrease so He may increase amen? (John 3:30)
I listened to my husband, brother Jim, discipling another brother just last week about clothing and food. This brother is new to these areas and wants to be biblical in his home and brother Jim said "These are topics that we can discuss, learn them, implement them and then leave them behind and move on to more important things." I totally agree! Obey and be done with it!
We have a lot of teaching articles about clothing and other areas for the Christian woman on our discernment blog, feel free to go there with your husband or other male authority.
Here's a word of advice for you if you have clothing that you question....
If in doubt toss it out!
I hope you have a joyous day,
God be praised!
