doinkdom -> RE: Finding myself jealous/insecure around other women... (4/21/2008 2:44:56 PM)

Well firstly, of course you have control over this. God has provided you a way to flee this area of thinking. You can also handle this because God strengthens you as you learn.
You must train your mind to think on things lovely, pure, beautiful. Renew your mind daily with the words of Truth, not the words or condition of our culture.
This is exactly the kind of thing that I take issue with because it has the potential to prevent you (and many other women) from having female friends. This history of comparison as though we were in direct competition with every female on the planet. But for what? Seriously....for what?
Even some Christian marriage books give advice that feeds this sort of thinking. It's terrible because the prize is not man, the prize is God.
Anyways...nicole, you can stop it - it just takes some self-control. And, then pray for a desire and heart change to stop it, a desire to have female friends, a desire to stop comparing yourself with anyone.
And, as a fellow sister in Christ, if you feel bad being around girls that dress the way you describe - remove yourself from their presence. That might be a good place to start.
