I was with a friend recently and we had a special time. Not only because I love her, but for the simple fact that she is a woman. I love women, and that is not something that I always hear from our gender. Women can be very critical and judgmental at times, but on the other hand their love for a fellow sister is often epic. It is where passion and compassion hold them tightly together creating life long connections.
When my daughters were young I had other women point out that girls were difficult. Even before I fully understood the power of agreement, that was a statement I vehemently opposed. These women who spoke this way were a mystery to me. My daughters were lovely and they possessed a preciousness that I still recall to this day, and still do! They are grown women raising their own children and I see the care they put into both sons and daughters.
At the root of a woman feeling exceptional is self-worth. This is a subject that I could talk about all day, for it is a critical component of women. If a woman is lacking a healthy self image, she will likely have difficulty showing another woman the way. In contrast, when a woman is certain about her identity and calling, there will be no holding her back. She will be a woman that will use the very best in herself to bring the best out in others. The phrase, a force to reckon with comes to mind, but with love and compassion at the cornerstone of this woman!
Proverbs 31:26 ESV She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
