31 Days of Virtue: Day 28

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. 1 Peter 3:3-4

Beauty. It's something we all want. To be called beautiful by that special someone is like nothing else. But we don't need to be concerned with out outward beauty; it's our inward beauty that matters. We need to adorn our inner self - our heart, our character, our values - with things that God views as beautiful. Things like the fruit of the Spirit:
Love
Joy
Peace
Patience
Kindness
Gentleness
Faithfulness
Goodness
Self-Control

Other things could be reverence, respectfulness, compassion, and helpfulness. Think of Philippians 4:8 - "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." If we think about these things and practice these things, then we will learn these things; and they will be in our minds and hearts. And if these are the things that are in our minds and hearts, then they will shine through us as beauty.

Think on these things...

A Virtuous Woman: 31 Days Project

Who can find a virtuous woman? For her price is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10


Who is a virtuous woman? A virtuous woman is someone who is good, righteous, worthy, faithful, honorable, moral, upright, and honest.


I would like to explore the Word of God for 31 days beginning October 1st and find this virtuous woman. I want to be this virtuous woman, but not for myself. I want to be this virtuous woman to glorify my God. I want to be this virtuous woman as a gift to my husband. I love being a wife. One of my deepest desires is to be the wife God wants me to be for my husband. But how can I know what kind of wife that is, how can I know who a virtuous woman is and what her characteristics comprise of unless I study and search for her?


I hope you will join me on this search. Married or not, all women can benefit from knowing who a virtuous woman is and taking her characteristics as our own. If you would like to place this badge on your blog or website to help spread the word, you are more than welcome to it!
