Why do I look in the mirror and all I see is myself?! Me, me, me?! Why can’t I look in the mirror and see a godly woman. A woman who holds her head proud, looks at others with compassion, listens and speaks wisely, who doesn’t worry about what tomorrow holds, for she knows who holds tomorrow, one who is not only a hearer of the word but a doer of the word, a woman who does not store up treasure here on earth but up in heaven, who’s life doesn’t revolve around her but the one who created her, a woman who loves the Lord with all her heart, who loves people even when their in the wrong, who’s heart longs to save people, who never gives up hope, and always has grace, who’s always in check with her self, especially before correcting others, who wants that consuming fire of the Holy Spirit, who wants that relationship with our Lord and Savior. A woman with compassion and mercy. Lord I pray I can look in the mirror and see a proverbs 31 woman. ❤️🪞

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?    She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

  and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

    all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax   

 and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships, 

   bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

    she provides food for her family    

and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

    out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously; 

   her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable, 

   and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

    and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

    and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

    for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

    she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,    where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,    and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;    she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom, 

   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

    and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

    her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,

    but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,    and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
