Godly Women

A godly woman is very noticeable in a crowd.

She is not the one with the expensive, fancy clothes or the one who is loudest in the crowd.

Instead her spirit is quiet and she carries herself with humility.

She doesn't try to attract attention but instead she draws attention with her meekness because that is such a rare quality today.

She draws attention because she is a rare gem standing in contrast against the muddy darkness of the world.

For woman who are hungry for God, they will notice these women right away.

Her feet bring peace and her hands reach out to help the needy. They are the hands of Jesus bringing water from afar. Her love and patience abounds. Forgiveness is offered freely and grace abounds.

She understands her weaknesses, frailties and sinfulness and is utterly dependent on the Lord.

She knows that there is no one perfect, except her Savior. She does not sucuumb the burdening model of perfectionism that the world doles out on women.

I am blessed to know several of these women, they come in all shapes and sizes but when I see one their beauty is undeniable because their spirit touches all around them.

One day I hope to be like these woman that God has graciously put in my path.

One of these days.

It is a refining process but one I am grateful to be on the journey for.

See, I wasn't raised to be a Proverbs 31 woman.

In fact, very far from it.

If I shared with you my past-- you would be quite astonished.

But one of these days, I hope I might grow more in this area.

And as God continues his mighty refinement process in me, I am grateful to learn from women who make themselves available.
