A Vision of Loveliness, of Femininity

By Contributing Writer, Jennifer Ross

 

The “vision” most of us were given as young ladies about to blossom into womanhood was that of distinct feminism. Few of our own parents sought to purposely ingrain into our hearts and minds such confusion.  No, it was by default that we unknowingly adopted this anti-God ideology that we brought with us into adulthood.

Many of us now struggle with these deeply imbedded beliefs.

And we don’t even know it.

Overcoming Feminism

By God’s grace we’ve overcome many of the worldly thoughts and misconceptions we may have carried with us for years.

But what about our daughters?

And our sons too, for that matter.

Do your little girls aspire to grow up to be a wife and mommy unto the Lord?  Or do they long to be independent and successful?

Do your sons show interest in the girls that delight in swapping recipes with each other and joining in conversations with the older women?  Or do they gravitate towards the giggly girls that rarely sit next to their parents at church and are frequently heard gossiping about which boy likes which girl?

Ladies, it is our responsibility to ensure that our children are being taught to believe, as well as fully embrace, solid Biblical values.

“Choose you this day whom ye will serve…”  Joshua 24:15

We can’t be friends with the world and with the Lord.  It just doesn’t work.  The world has an agenda which, as we well know, is decidedly opposed to the commands of the Lord and His role for women.

 

God’s Vision for Women

God’s vision for women should be our vision for our daughters. We are to pour vision for marriage and motherhood into our daughters. Barring severe economic hardship or the death or serious injury of a husband, it is the Biblical norm for our daughters to one day be stay-at-home wives and mothers.

• “I will that the young women marry….”  1 Timothy 5:14
• “Older women… teach the younger to… love their husbands… children… be keepers at home…” Titus 2:3-5
• “Then the Lord God said, ‘It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.’”  Genesis 2:18

We must provide our daughters with this vision of godliness, loveliness and femininity.  Use these verses above, and others like them, to combat the wicked views of this world and to speak crucial words of life into their hearts and souls.

 

No Higher Calling

by Jennifer Ross

Protect your daughters

pass on the vision

of true and Biblical

womanhood.

Stand your guard

and with conviction,

fight the battle which

our Lord calls “good.”

For it’s not against flesh and blood

that we war,

but of powers and rulers

of darkness and more.

They fight for the souls

of our little girls,

constantly and

without rest.

God forbid we allow

in them to flourish,

the heart of

a feminist.

We must raise our daughters,

to give the Lord nothing less

than the whole

of their very life.

For there is no higher calling

for a woman of God,

than that

of a mother and wife.
