BEING A WOMAN...GODLY WOMAN!

Being A Woman!!!

Being A Godly Woman!!!

What does it mean to be a Godly Woman?

What does it mean to seek God with our whole hearts?

A woman.  Hmm.  We can be so simple, yet so complex.  Only God understand us.  Sometimes, we don't even understand ourselves, so thank God He does....lol.

We as women were created not to walk behind our man, in front of our man, but BESIDE our man!
For those who are not married, pray and seek the one God wants you to have.  Because if they are not the one God has for you, you don't need them!

What does being a woman mean to you? 

Sometimes, we as women have to go to battle for our family. 

I know I have used this refrenece time and time again, but Proverbs chapter 31 is the best example of a Godly woman!  That chapter tells us how to conduct ourselves in a Godly manner, how to be a good wife, and how to be a good mother.

What if we are not mothers?  You may not have children of your own, but you may not even realize, that to someone, you are a mother figure.  Giving birth doesn't make you a "mama".

Now, we all know that we women can be emotional...our poor husbands...lol.....When we begin to feel like an emotional wreck, we just go to God in prayer right then.  He will help us get though it!  He is the only one who understands us. 

Being a woman is more than being a wife, or a mother. 
Being a Godly woman is more than just being a Godly woman in church or in your ministry.  It's being a Godly woman in every aspect of your life.  Handleing things the way God would want us too.  Being in His will.  Putting Him first. 
Being a Godly woman is about reaching out to other women, no matter their walk of life.  Teaching them and guiding them in a Godly manner the way God would want us too.  Not juding them.  Loving them, showing them. 
Some women out there didn't have a mother figure, and they dont' know how to be a woman. 

For instance.  If a young lady walks into your church, and let's say they have on shorts and a tank top, how do you react?  What are the thoughts that go through your mind?  Well Sis. Patti are you saying it's ok to dress like that?  No. I'm not.  I'm saying, what if they have never been to church before?  What if they are lost?  What if that is all they have?  Help them find Jesus, and then let God do the convicting.  The best example is taught sometimes not through words, but by actions.

STORY:
A young prostitute walked in the doors of the church and didn't even get to set down before the pastor walked back and told her that because of the way she was dressed, she would have to leave.  The young woman left the church, and went to a secluded spot.  A few hours later, the police came by the church with the woman's picture and ask the pastor if he had seen the woman.  He said yes but that he had ask her to leave.
The police said well we found this note lying by her body.
The note read:
I tried the world and they didn't want me.  I even tried God and He didn't want me.

What a sad, sad story.  The blood of that young woman will be on that pastor's hands.  Did it really matter if she wasn't dressed "appropiatly" when she was just trying to find God.   The young woman left this world, thinking that God didn't want her because of the way she was dressed.

We do not have to convict people.  GOD WILL!!! 
I heard another pastor tell that story and it stuck with me.  I myself,  just like we all have, have been guilty of judging.  The house of God should be respected and the Bible tells us we should offer our best, but when someone comes off the streets who have never been in church before and their just trying to find God, let them!  And let GOD CONVICT!

Another mighty woman of God, Sis. Toby Hise from Eldorado Illinois, made this statement.  "THE CHURCH AIN'T HEAVEN!"  Bold statement? Yes it is. TRUTH?  Yes it is.  EVERYONE  is suppose to be welcomed in the House of God.
