The Xtian Woman's Strength Of Character by xtianwoman: 11:36pm On Feb 25, 2017
We will conclude on the Xtian Woman's uniqueness in destiny with this :
STRENGTH OF CHARACTER.
(1 Peter 3:3-5)
The truth is no amount of physical beauty can make up for the spiritual dignity or attractiveness of a woman of God. She is a person of dignity because her value & sense of significance is found in God. She is also a person of serenity because her trust & security is in God. This woman will reflect a kind of inner beauty that does more than call attention to herself. It is a beauty that is more than anything merely skin deep.
A woman with a strength of character will never return evil for evil or insult for insult.
There is no more beautiful woman than one who is clothed in the Lord Jesus Christ. She is marked by tender kindness, humility, patience, forgiveness, love, peace, joy & thankfulness (Colossians 3:12-17). None of these are sold in a clothing store. None can be bought at any price yet they are all free to any woman who choses to live in Christ, even as Christ lives in her.
A woman who wants to be strong & beautiful will not put her confidence in expensive jewellery, fine clothes & cosmetics
(1 Peter 3:3).
The godly woman puts her confidence in the graciousness, strength & integrity that comes from her relationship with Christ. She will prove that the best dressed women wear dignity, strength, honour & quiet confidence in God as unfolding sources of beauty. And according to Peter, if she is married her beauty comes in being submissive to her husband.
In conclusion, every Xtian Woman should painstakingly work on her inner beauty & character alongside taking care of the outward. Esther is a perfect example, she was able to merge her beauty, intelligence & respectful attitude towards her husband, she was also a godly woman who prays to her God as seen in Esther 4:16.

I pray that we will have a heart like Christ and that his beauty will be seen in our conduct & clothing. Amen.

Commitment to study & obedience to God's word enhances the inner beauty of the Xtian Woman.
The scripture reforms your culture.

You are right, O.P.
A woman's true potential lies in her MEEKNESS which can only be acquired by being totally submissive to God's word. This will enable her to respect her fellow men as well b'cos of the respect she has for her God. But a woman who never has an iota of respect for her Creator will never see the need to value humanity at large since her connection to the Source is visibly lacking in her life. This is what lives many feeling rejected, unsatisfied, unwanted, dejected, frustrated & embittered b'cos they left the most important thing that matters the most (God) in their lives to pursure stuffs that are of no value (material possessions) to the upkeep of the soul & the spirit (Which lies the true source of their beauty).
When a lady tries to live her life her OWN WAY instead of trying to live according to her SAVIOUR'S WAY (Christ), that's the moment inner true beauty is lost in the process. No matter what she may put on the surface of her body, she can never make up for that ultimate beauty that comes from her CREATOR that can never fade.

In exhibiting the Christ-like character, you might likely offend people. However, never mind.

According to Elizabeth Elliott - The fact that I am a woman does not make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I am a Christian does make me a different kind of woman.
