My Bible Story

Paul taught believers to dress in a way that honors God — not to draw attention to themselves. Peter said real beauty comes from the **hidden person of the heart**, not fancy hairstyles or expensive clothing. God wants our outside to reflect purity, respect, and a gentle spirit.

What This Teaches Us

  • Modesty is about the heart first.
  • Our clothing should honor God, not impress people.
  • True beauty comes from a gentle and quiet spirit.
  • We represent Jesus in how we dress.

Memory Verse

“Your beauty should be that of your inner self.” — 1 Peter 3:4

Activities

  • Honor God Closet: Choose outfits that show modesty and respect.
  • Beauty Inside Craft: Kids draw a heart filled with good character traits.

Prayer

Lord, help my heart be pure so my clothing honors You. Amen.
