Be a Virtuous Women

The world's portrayl of women is extremely sexual. Every where you look women are shown with barely any clothes, presented as beneath men, door mats, and generally inferior. That is why it is so critical that you understand who you are according to God and not the world.

God says in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I ordained you a prophet to the nations." How dare you have such low self esteem that you allow yourself to be defined by someone else or believe that you are inferior. God wants you to have the absolute best. He is your creator, not the world.

You may have been faced with abuse and misuse, defamation of character, been hurt, financially ruined, but Phillipians 4:13 says, " I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strenghens me."

Just as Esther knew, you must always present yourself favorable to God. In Ester 5, she presented herself to the king, with favor in his sight. When the king asked what she desired, he said that "it shall be given to you-up to half the kingdom."

Always have present yourself with favor to God and he will continue to bless you. Be strong in your relationship with God and trust in him at all times.
