I have come to the conclusion that bikinis have absolutely No reason to a Christian women! I praise God He opened up my eyes to this situation and I repent of even showing off the body that the Lord has given me that is HIS only and for my Husband.
1 Corinthians 6:20 For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's.
Many would probably say " I worked hard for this body, so I'm going to show it off" or the other argument can be " I don't have a nice body, so there's no way i can stumble someone" The best one is " I don't want my body to have a Un-even tan"
The argument I was deceived by was " I worked hard for this body, So I'm going to show it off" I also didn't want an Un-even tan. What I DIDNT get was NO ONE IS GOING TO SEE MY BODY WHY SHOULD I CARE IF I HAVE AN UN-EVEN TAN!! It was most difficult for me to not wear a bikini because i've been going to the gym more than i've ever been before, so that means good results, but I had to remember It's not about me! That was all I was thinking about, Me,me,me......It was all about what I wanted and how I felt. It all goes back to how sinful we are, in other words totally depraved. We are selfish and want that praise from people, and I know deep down inside your heart you want guys to look at you, and if you disagree why not where a one piece? Why should that statement even bother you?
BUT once you see Christ for who HE truly is: our High priest, our Bride groom, our king whom we sing hymns of praises to and shout Hallelujah, What a SAVIOR!! Once you cherish Him for what HE has done for you:
Pray all night if you have to, REMEMBER it's NOT about you!!! It's about what Christ has done!!!

- YOU don't want to disrespect your husband in an unworthy manner
- YOU don't want to cause your brothers to stumble in such a way you can ruin their walk.
