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!

Wait

Right now God has been encouraging me from His Word. I was writing a card to a friend, sharing with her my favorite verses from Psalm 62. I began to feel a bit discouraged about something, but it was then that our gracious heavenly Father encouraged me with the same passage I was using to encourage someone else. I will share that passage with you:

"My soul, wait in silence for God only, for my hope is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold; I shall not be shaken. On God my salvation and my glory rest; the rock of my strength, my refuge is in God. Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us." Psalm 62:5-8

Sometimes I get so distracted or worried about things that I forget to "be still and know that (He) is God." It is always His Word that rings true and brings me back to reality: the reality that He is in control, He is my rock, my salvation, my stronghold, my refuge, "I shall not be shaken."

When I am unsure about my future, He says to me, "Wait." (Psalm 62:5)

When I am longing to be married and have children of my own, He says, "Delight yourself in Me." (Psalm 37:4)

When I am afraid, He says, "Trust in Me with all your heart." (Proverbs 3:5)

When I feel like life is too hard or I can't go on, He says, "My grace is sufficient for you." (2 Corinthians 12:9)

He is our great God. Wait for Him, dear sister in Christ, and see the blessings that come from obedience to Him.
