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!

Faith in the Dark

We, as women, are such emotional beings. It is so easy to get our focus off of Christ when we don't "feel" close to Him or when we don't "feel" like He loves us.

This devotional from Nancy Leigh DeMoss really encouraged my heart and gave me hope for something that I have recently struggled with.

So be encouraged, child of God!

"I'm reading the Bible and praying just like I used to, but for some
reason, I just don't sense God's presence. It seems like I'm talking
to myself. What's going on?"

There are times when God withholds the conscious
sense of His presence--times when God seems far away and less real. I
think that's because He wants us to walk by faith and seek Him with
all our hearts.

Isaiah described it this way: "Who among you fears the Lord and obeys
the word of his servant? Let him who walks in the dark, who has no
light, trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God."

If you're feel like you're walking in the dark today, let me
encourage you. Trust in the Lord, rely on God and keep going. God is
pleased with faith that's exercised in the darkness."

With Seeking Him, Nancy Leigh DeMoss
