Femininity is in tatters. The family has been split apart. Churches worldwide are weakening. What must be done to regain the purity of a life that seeks to honour Jesus? How can we re-capture the depth of His love for us? How can femininity and true beauty be regained?

It starts with the Gospel. It starts with an almighty, sovereign God who “did not spare His own Son,” a Saviour who “for the joy set before Him endured the Cross,” a Holy Spirit “who is in you,” empowering you to do His will.

The Gospel is Jesus Christ

He came, He gave
He is mighty to save
To all who will repent and believe

This blog is dedicated to re-capturing femininity; femininity as God designed it. Femininity in our culture is desperately lost. Scripture testifies of this in Proverbs 31. “An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.” A wife of excellence is more rare that precious gems. In the 21st century, this is sadly apparent.

So let us raise the bar to a level of excellence that is rare and mysterious. Let us live our growing years with patience, our single years with dedication, our waiting years with service, our longing years with purity, our married years with faithfulness, and our entire lives under the blessings of our eternal covenant with the Prince of our souls, Jesus Christ.

May He have all the glory!

"Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes
All my own desires and hopes and accept Thy will for my life.
I give myself, my life, my all
Utterly to Thee to be Thine forever.
Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit
Use me as Thou wilt, send me where Thou wilt
And work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost now
and forever."

~Betty Scott Stam

Sometimes we pray a prayer, a beautiful prayer of dedication to God. We want Him to take us, to take all of us and use us for Him alone. Do you know that God hears our every prayer? And do you know that He always answers us, never according to our wisdom or planning or understanding but always according to His perfect wisdom, His perfect planning, and His perfect understanding? Be careful not to pray this prayer of Betty Scott Stam unless you really mean it. He just might take your life and use it to build a Kingdom that will not fail, to speak a Word that will not return void, and to light a flame that kindles a fire of light to a lost and dying world.

For Betty Scott Stam, it cost her her life.

The Gospel calls us to complete surrender.

Jesus gave His life.

Will you?
