What is Modesty??

(Lessons from Potiphar's Wife)
Usually I think of modesty as in the way you dress. But really, it's far more than that--it's your whole way of thinking and acting.
We're not told how Potipher's wife was dressed, but she was definitely immodest in the way she acted.
Here are a few definions of modesty that I found:
      the quality of not being too proud or confident about yourself or your abilities
      the quality of behaving and especially dressing in ways that do not attract sexual attention
      the act of showing reserve in behavior or clothes
Immodesty is all about drawing attention to yourself. It comes out in our attitude, our actions and the way we dress.
Some girls may dress modestly and yet act in a way that says "Look at me. I want attention!"
While others may act right and yet wear clothes that draw attention to their body in the wrong way.
There is something so beautiful about modesty!
Potiphar's wife lacked this beauty. What about you??
