Webster’s Definition of Virtuous: as conforming to moral and ethical principles; morally excellent; upright.

Why not face it; the woman in Proverbs 31 comes off as the most perfect woman.

What a slap in the face it would be, if the passage were titled “A Most Perfect Woman.” It’s hard enough dealing with the word Virtuous and all that it entails.

However difficult it may be for any woman of God to read the passage in Proverbs and try to live accordingly, God in His infinite wisdom, created each of us Virtuous by Design.

As women we sometimes have the most difficult time understanding our worth to God. If we read Proverbs 31(10-31) without praying for an open heart and wisdom to understand, we will never see the value we have in Christ. Before we take the time to read this passage again, it may be important to go beyond it and find out how virtuous we are meant to be.

I love real people, especially my sisters. There is something that is special and unique about women who can just be who they were born to be without worrying about what someone else thinks about them. Women who are aware of who they are. Women who know that their story can be the catalyst for giving someone else wings to fly. Authentic women are about solutions not simply masking issues.

Authentic women live a liberated life. They are not worried about what the crowd is doing but rather what is best for what their lives. They are not women who judge or pay fault on someone to make them look bad. They live to help others with expectation. They know that they are not perfect but they strive daily to life right, nonetheless. They take time out to care about themselves because they know that care of self is just as important as care of everyone else. Yet, they live a life that serves others.
