What a True Woman Looks Like...

This week as I sit and look out over the vast ocean and listen to the waves roll into shore, I sit and enjoy God's peace as I reflect on His goodness and my blessings.  I've been reading Nancy Leigh DeMoss, "Voices of the True Woman Movement."  Ladies, I want so MUCH to be a true woman of God! I want to know Him, to know His ways.  I want my life to be a reflection of His love.  As we continue our journey at WBC to be True Women of God, I encourage you to purchase this book for yourself. It has been such an inspiration for me! I'll share just a few truths I've grasped hold of.
  • A True Woman of God doesn't give into fear, but smiles on the future. 
  • She knows God has the whole world in His hands.
  • She knows that the one in charge of "all things" can be trusted to know what He is doing.
  • She knows it is God who defines good, so she leans on Him. 
  • She depends on Him even in times of prosperity, joy and  plenty. 
  • But she also maintains her trustful gratitude in times of pain and hardships, of lack and want, of loneliness, uncertainty, and confusion. 
  • A true woman is more than a good wife, mother, loyal friend, daughter. More than anything else, Jesus Christ is the center of her universe and her life revolves around Him and therefore, she has hope - real genuine hope --- in the midst of a world filled with pain, loss, and uncertainty. 

A true woman is a God-centered woman.

God bless you on your journey to becoming a true woman of God!
