Feminity

 

In our culture there is much contoversy over what femininity is. And so much of what God truly designed it to be has been lost. It is heartbreaking. God created us females to be unique and beautiful. Both men and women are of complete equality, but we have uniquely different roles and purposes. God created us different. And it is beautiful. 

The difference between masculinity and femininity is not suppose to be dividing and hateful, but unique, precious, beautiful, and a creative act of God. God could have made us anyway He pleased. But He chose to make men and women in His image, and He chose to make us different and unique. Femininty is a beautiful part of God's design for humanity!

Lets look at some verses that speak about femininity:

• Proverbs 31:10-31 (God created women to be homemakers, caretakers, valuable, virtuous, faithful, strong, charitable, providing, dignified, kind, wise, diligent, and selfless)
• Proverbs 11:22 (wisdom is better than beauty; beauty on the inside is much more important to God than beauty on the outside)
• Titus 2:3-5 (as women we must not slander, we must mentor and encourage one another, be selfless and pure, be caretakers, be self-controlled, be kind, and be humble)
• Genesis 1:27 (as females we are different than males)
• 1 Peter 3:3-4 (God is more concerned with our inner beauty and gentleness than our outer beauty)
• 1 Timothy 2:9-10 (as females we must be modest, self-controlled, and full of good works)
• Galatians 3:28 (as believers we are all one in Christ, male and female. We are of equal value to God and must both follow His commands toward Christians)
• 1 Corinthians 11:11-12 (women and men are designed to need and help each other; women was made from man and man is born of women)
• Luke 1:45 (God chose a women to bring His Son into the world. Mary had favor in His eyes)
• Proverbs 11:16 (we must be gracious women, hospitable, loving, forgiving, and humble)
• Genesis 2:18-24 (God made females in a unique way)
• 1 Timothy 2:11-12 (women are not to preach to men; God has given us each different roles. Men lead spiritually and protect, women provide and care for the home. Each purpose is equally important and beautiful)
