A woman who fears the lord and has beauty on the inside, her beauty will never fade away.

Dear young ladies,

Thank you for taking the time to read this.


I pray you will be blessed by it, and I hope the Lord will speak to you through it.

A few thoughts have come to my mind about being a godly young lady in this day and age. Life is difficult and temptations are strong. However, I don’t want you to look at your problems. The Lord wants you to live a victorious life.

Your future may look weary, and you don’t know what road to take. I think many a time a young person, looks too far ahead of themselves, forgetting to be faithful today. It is our loving heavenly Father who holds tomorrow. Why worry about it, when it is in His Hands? Instead, obey what He is asking you to do today. You may say, “You don’t know my life. It is too difficult to do what I know He wants me to do today.”

Sure enough. Your life may be a difficult one. However, the Father promises difficulties. He says, “In the world, you will have trouble.” (John 16:33) Nevertheless, it goes on to say that HE has overcome the world.

Think about Peter. He was walking on the water. As soon as he took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink. Don’t look at your problems, look to Jesus. Maybe you find yourself in that spot, the sinking spot which Peter was in. Don’t be afraid, as soon as Peter cried out for help, he was saved. Jesus wants you to acknowledge your need.

Whoever you are today, and no matter how difficult the road ahead is, know this: Jesus is there. He wants to know you, and He wants you to know HIM. Call out to Him for help. Draw near to Him. He will come to you. Obey in the areas He wants you to today, He will show you what He wants you to do next.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus spoke of being pure in heart. Have you ever thought about that in depth? Being pure in your heart. Having no evil thoughts, nothing un-pure crossing your mind. Paul also writes to Timothy, telling him to make sure the women know their beauty is on the outside.

Today, looking around at the world, do we see these two areas being practiced? No, we see the total opposite of them. The woman of the world do not care about being pure at all, and they only care about being beautiful on the outside.

We must be different. As followers of Christ, we must be willing to be pure in heart, having a heart as white as snow. This way, no man can accuse us of being un-pure. If they do, we must be like Christ, and not speak back to them or justify ourselves.

Also, we must be willing to have a gentle and quiet spirit, which is beautiful in God’s eyes. Wouldn’t that be wonderful, to have the Father in Heaven delighted with us?

When a young man looks at me, I do not want him to see me. No. I want him to see Jesus. Being pure in heart and obtaining a gentle and quiet spirit won’t bring attraction to you like the world wants.

However, if you seek these things, and if you seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit more than anything else you have ever wanted, God will cause rivers of living water to flow from your life.

Now, tell me what you think is most important. A man noticing you, or god noticing you. A man looking at you, and seeing Jesus shining from you, or simply seeing a young woman, who is beautiful.

The outward beauty will fade away. I guarantee you it will. Yet, a woman who fears the Lord and has beauty on the inside, her beauty will never fade away.

May the Lord bless you richly as you continue to seek Him.
