This is a True Story based on modified experience.
Once upon a time, a girl of about 20 named Val decided to open up a facebook account. Of all things, she believed every one on facebook has good intentions for her for the rest of her life.
She added Bill, Sue, Fred and Sam. She added grandma, grandpa, aunt and uncle too.
For the longest time she was told by folks around her, watch what you say, watch what you eat and even watch what you WEAR.
At first she didn't care about the meaning "watch what you wear" but then the truth was revealed to her.
Among her large list of facebook friends, there was a guy named JIM. Oh he seemed so sweet, nice, funny and handsome. He had a little sin issue here and there, but very common to the other friends too you see. So no one picked up on his issue.
Val, had learned much wisdom from Wise Eagle Woman a few years ago, not from facebook or internet but good old campfire chat and having a cup of tea. They would say, "Oh isn't it funny how that husband is of handsome and good reputation over there, always wants to see that girl's thigh and stare??" "All the men want it that way. You should know that by now. From Great Big Bear to Slow Turtle Man my friend." Now gaining some more wisdom, it turns out the creator did that to men, so there is no point in shouting at the men or Great Big Bear will not be there to capture a Buffalo or go to battle. Great Big Bear runs away when he hears the sound of angry woman. He runs far away into the wilderness never to return. So do not trust in the LUST of man, but trust in the saviour to keep the men secure and true.
Anyway, a few years later Val happened to "meet" JIM in conversation on facebook. He started "fishing" for details in Val's life. The details were not too bad she thought. The information she shared was only common.....among men, she thought. Information common in the medical books you see. Then Val asked JIM if he had ever looked at a "thigh" of a woman in a strange picture. Those funny paintbrushed pictures, where the Flying Eagle Lady is painted to look more beautiful than the Peacock with Wings. Somehow Peacocks simply don't have wings to fly, they only have feathers to show. JIM revealed that he DID in fact look at those funny paintbrush pictures and didn't take much time to "pray" about those images he saw. LUST was driving Jim, not PRAYER.
Val decided she wanted to meet JIM because he seemed so Unusually attractive and fine online. JIM wanted her to wear something that revealed the "thigh" rather than a modest attire of appropriate proportions and understandings of the nature of Creator's glory. She didn't listen to everything JIM requested. She wore what she KNEW she wanted from a FINE man named JIM and it wasn't a revealing of the "thigh" it was a revealing of the HEART.
Her heart was excited to deal with JIM as he wished, but she approached him with sincere truth. JIM "Do you know WHO I AM"? JIM was funny about some things. He said, "Show me more and more and more of your thigh.......never mind your sigh or your cry, just show me your thigh."
JIM was pretty handsome its true. He had a nice voice and strong muscles any woman could understand why any woman should WANT such a nice man named JIM. She exchanged a little kiss or two. But then reality came to VAL. Jim only wants to see more thigh.......he doesn't want to know about my sigh or my cry! JIM wanted VAL to do what he wanted her to do. It wasn't evil at first, but it wasn't TRUTH. It wasn't TRUST. It was LUST. LUST that leads to EVILS!
After Val's emotions were stirred, Val was strong enough as a woman of dignity not to be moved to tears for her sin, because she knew her value. Her sin was covered. She knew she was not getting pulled around by the funny paintbrush pictures lady. Instead, she wept for JIM. His sin led him to not notice VAL. As a person of dignity, character, strength, and compassion. VAL did not want LUST. VAL wanted JIM to be a MAN of compassion. Val's modest understanding frustrated JIM. JIM thought VAL belonged to JIM with only a thigh and not with a cry and a sigh. VAL knew her saviour loved her heart, her desire to be loved in fullness of attire from the cry and the sigh. That attire being Honor, Strength, Dignity and Compassion.
Val revealed this to JIM. On facebook the next day. JIM upset with his approach to the TRUTH about VAL and her condition to desire HONOR, STRENGTH, DIGNITY and COMPASSION from a man, departed from the friendship with VAL. Not because VAL did not want the friendship, but because the LUST destroyed the possibility that a GODLY friendship could ever develop. JIM had strength in muscle and voice. She prayed JIM may have strength in HEART towards God without fear of other men and how they want to see "the thigh." Val knows it is upon the saviour to whom she must rely, not upon the LUST of men.
For more proper attire than the sexually impure attire that is promoted for women from the schools to the supermarket, try these styles of clothes.
