Women of Strength

So let me ask you something; in this world, what makes up a strong woman?

There are so many women today that think that being "strong" means, in many ways, to be feared. They classify strong women as those who have the ripped bodies and gruff voices. The ones that look as if mountains would crumble before them. But here's the deal, while those women may be physically strong, are they really a strong woman?
When I think of a woman of strength, I don't picture those with the rippling muscles, but, rather, I see a kind, gentle woman filled with compassion and mercy. These women are so few and far between, they are considered, what I call, the diamonds in the ruff. So, why are they so rare?
In this generation it seems like more young girls are growing up trying to be more like the boys, like they are ashamed of their gender. They turn away from their kind and gentle ways in desperate attempts to be accepted. Why can't they see that they have such an amazing part to play here on earth? I don't care who they are, they are the chosen women of God, and they don't need to act as something else.

Back to our original question: what makes up a strong woman?
My answer?
It is not the measure of her strength, but of her love. The love for her God, herself, and those around her. When she finds that, all else follows.


"Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised." -Proverbs 31:30
