As a woman, I live by one of the most popular chapters in the Bible, Proverbs 31, which is about being a virtuous woman. Now I know that in the Bible it actually says "wife" instead of "woman," but considering I am not married I changed it to woman. I feel like this chapter doesn't always apply to wives but to Godly women in general.
Recently God has really been placing that chapter on my heart. Tonight in a moment when I was about to break and almost felt useless, I started to read Proverbs 31. This time it was different. Different in the way that I understood it. I read this chapter as if it was describing me and who I am (or should be). Here is what I came up with:
I...
Am trustworthy
Am to do good not evil
Am hard working
Am strong
Am compassionate
Am fearless
Have honor and strength
Speak wisdom
Speak kindly
Am blessed
Will fear the Lord
Will praise Him in everything I do.
-Proverbs 31-
After I read all of these I realized that this is what it takes to be a Woman of God. It is not only going to church or reading the Bible or worshiping Him, but it is also in the way I live my life. It is the qualities of a Godly woman that I need to strive for.
Once I read all of these qualities again to myself I realized that I am a daughter of Christ and that I am so loved by Him. Even when I feel like no one else does or I don't belong, I know that He loves me because I read this and realize my worth. Not my worth in this world but my worth in Christ.
