Ladies, a few days ago we had a post on Proverbs 31... I consider this the follow up!
Her graceful hands worked diligently as the rest of her body was in a perfect state of peace. Her eyes where focused but a gentle smile tugged at the corners of her mouth.
She moved about gracefully, comfortable in her own skin and that was what people saw when they looked at her. She always seemed in perfect control-in perfect balance and harmony with everything around her. All the men wanted to be in her company, but they approached her in a gentle, respectful manner.. they couldn't behave in any other way towards her, for she demanded respect. Not in an aggressive manner, but rather in her calm way of talking, her kind nature and sensitiveness towards what others needed to hear or feel-acting according to this in her everyday interactions. She isn't beautiful in the worldly terms of beauty. But then again, the image created with cosmetics and image editing is an illusion-and people look for a something tangible.
This woman is beautiful to all who look upon her for the beauty that comes from within overrides the shell the outside world sees, making her a pleasure for the eyes! She is desirable to all men, for the price she has put on her body is high and she will not allow anything to lower that price. She has given her life to God and has committed to be a woman of God. She will be the mother of nations, taking care of and looking after those around her with broken wings. She has exchanged her earthly eyes for eyes that see what God sees. She has asked her hands and feet to be used to do Gods will and her heart- to be large enough to love all who comes her way. This woman is clothed in white after being washed clean of the crimson stains and stripped of all her sins. She is new because God has renewed her body, mind and soul! She will keep on giving Him praise for her new life! Indulging herself in doing the work of God! Drawing perfect, humble confidence from the Spirit. Receiving wisdom for each decision, each moment! This woman, being a woman of God, is the woman in each of us. The woman God has created us to be. The woman we must decide to become with each new day! "And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength" Ephesians 1:19
