Friday, January 11, 2008
I wrote this poem for the Girlhood, in which it’s published, but I thought I would share it with you. Working on the “After Highschool” series and writing on the role of women, modesty, and Biblical-living has made me ponder a lot on how we view ourselves as women/young ladies. In everything we do, let it be for His glory and not ours.
We do not adorn ourselves with fine apparel
For that does no define beauty
We adorn ourselves with Strength, Honour, and Modesty
For that is beautiful in the Lord’s eyes
We do not adorn ourselves with the ideals of this world
For they shall pass away
We adorn ourselves with the ways of the Lord
For His kingdom will last forever and ever
We do not adorn ourselves with pride and hypocrisy
But we adorn ourselves with humility and righteousness
We do not adorn ourselves with hate or fear
But we adorn ourselves with love and trust in Him
We are but little women
And we want to adorn ourselves in the things of the Lord.
We are but thine willing handmaidens.
Help us Lord to be just that as we grow in You.
For there is no such fine attire as the attire that is of the Lord
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
Blessings!
