We wanted today to share an uplifting message for all Woman who seek to live faithfully and in obedience to God, who care for their families and show Love, Kindness and Compassion to others, who offer Hospitality and support to those in need. Woman who do this are in no way inferior to Men or other Woman in prominent positions and in terms of worth, you are indeed God’s Beautiful Woman of Strength and cherished by Him, our value as woman to Him beyond earthly reckoning.
Beauty is also shown in our focus and integrity and our acceptance of God’s chosen role for us as our Husbands Helpmates and for seeking to encourage and help other Men that God has placed in Authority over us in the Church or Christian Ministries, respecting them as our Brothers in the Body of Christ and in their Leadership position.
We commend you for the inward Beauty you show that outlasts and outshines worldly beauty, your example for your Children and other Woman is a Light in the darkness.
Below is a poem I received by e-mail a few years ago, it has been adapted, the original Author is unknown to me.
God’s Beautiful Woman of Strength
A strong Woman works out every day to keep her body in shape …
But God’s Woman of Strength prayers come from her heart
to keep her soul in shape…
A Strong Woman isn’t afraid of anything …
But God’s Woman of Strength shows courage in the midst of her
suffering and pain. A Strong Woman won’t let anyone
get the best of her…
But God’s Woman of Strength gives the best of herself to everyone as she trusts in the Lord to equip her…
A Strong Woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future …
God’s Woman of Strength realizes life’s mistakes can also be blessings and gives Thanks for the lessons learned and uses them for God’s glory.
A Strong Woman walks sure footedly…
But God’s Woman of Strength knows He will catch her if she stumbles or falls before her journey ends and she will be set free to be all she was chosen to be…
A Strong Woman wears the look of confidence on her face …
But God’s Woman of Strength wears His Grace, her confidence is in Him and His strength to keep her from sin as she chooses His way and Trusts and obeys.
A Strong Woman has faith that she is strong enough for the Journey…
But God’s Women of Strength has faith that it is in the Journey that she will become strong in The Lord.
The Beauty of a Woman is not in makeup or the clothes she wears, the figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair.
The Beauty of a Woman is seen in her Loving and caring eyes, there the doorway to her Heart, the place where the Lord’s Love resides and what sets her apart.
The Beauty of a Woman is not about having no lines, or blotched skin, glasses or even a facial mole, but True Beauty in a Woman is reflected in her Soul.
.
.
It is the Caring that she gives, and her Passion in the Lord that she shows, and the Beauty of a woman with passing years only continues to grow, for real Love does not age and it has no end because it is focused on an Eternal Friend.
.
To all our old and new friends wherever they may be, let’s encourage each other in our appreciation and wonder of being God’s Beautiful Woman of Strength in Him and for Him and having Godly Pride in who we are in Christ Jesus lets always give Him the Thanks for the Beauty others see in us as we also give heartfelt Thanks for them.
.
Thank you for the follow and blessings to you.

Gods beautiful woman of strength atricle sounds a lot like my Carol, as even though she has eplileptic sezures since a young child, she never complains about it, she was a songter in the Salvation Army where we meet
Carol is so loving towards everyone she makes them feel as if they have known her a long time
She is so loving, she puts me to shame, in a loving way
As to yourself I venture to say you are also one of Gods beautiful woman of strength

What a Wonderful Loving Heart you have Graham, how very blessed you both are to have each other and Thank you for your Kind thoughts about me too.
I believe an no doubt you do too that although our own toothache hurts us more than other peoples do we still need to care about those who are suffering and seek to Help and comfort them. We are Jesus Arms, Hands, Feet and Voice in this Hurting World and we were not Created to go it alone.
This is why it’s OK for others and for us to share about our Downs as well as our Ups, we all have them which we can also read about with those mentioned in the Bible including Jesus who asked for His Disciples to Pray and it’s needed for us to have Prayer Support too and to be helped to carry our Heavy Loads in the Hard times that Life brings.
Thank you Graham for always being willing to share your Ups and Downs with us too, we all need to feel Wanted an Needed.
Christian Love and God’s Blessings – Anne.

Hi Patty, thank you for sharing your feelings so Honestly but be assured we don’t need to be strong in the flesh which means we depend on ourselves instead we are woman of Strength because Jesus is our Strength…. Do you remember the Song…It’s no longer I that liveth but Christ that liveth in me, it’s confirmed in the Scripture see below, we are no longer weak, that’s Satan’s lie, so we put our Carnal Flesh to death by The Spirit and walk in Victory. (Romans 8)
Galatians 2: 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who Loved me and gave Himself for me.(KJV)
Thank you for your kind words Patty, I will pass them onto our King and thank Him too for your Loving heart.

Thank you Patty, you too have words that uplift and encourage greatly, please let me know when you would like to travel on with sharing my walk with the Lord and what He has shown me, most of which I was never taught in Church or by extended Ministries but all are confirmed in Scripture and were taught in the early Church. I would still like to continue to use my links if that is OK with you, it does save detail and they have graphics which add a dimension that although detailed my comments don’t have.
Thank you again Patty, I really feel blessed having met you, although I have made other Blogging friends, I miss some of those I made when I first started my Blog, they moved on as people often do with Blogging but I never forget those who touch my heart so I won’t forget you either Patty but I hope we will always stay in touch but I will warn you, my sense of humour sometimes takes over.

God is good when He brings His people together. You know the saying, about how some people come into our lives for a season and some for a lifetime. I have been blessed with both. I pray ours is for a lifetime…but we both know if God has us move on then we must obey Him. I will get back with you – so much going on in the world today I would like to learn more on how what is going and the return of Jesus.

Beautiful I am saving it. Just what I need to hear some days. It reminds me of Tom, him being the man looking for a wife and found me – he taught me so much and brought out the best in me. The most important thing he did for me was to encourage me in finding my way to God. Actually as I write this I am going to share it – this is something so many of us need to hear – we are all beautiful the way God created us.

Awesome post, Grannie Annie!
Your beautiful rendition of a beautiful woman makes being a beautiful woman so attractive.
I hope you have something as awesome for your son?
Or does the beautiful woman knockout the handsome man completely?
Smiles!
True beauty is from the heart and a self centred person is most likely to miss the point.
When we live for others, that’s truly when our life counts.
Christ washed our feet that we might wash the feet of others.
How can we claim to love the lord if we do not love our fellow man that we see?
Your words are rich and lovely.
Who would not want to be God’s beautiful woman of strength after going through this post?
I wonder, I truly wonder!
Welldone, Grannie! 🙂

Dear Son, you are indeed very wise, your words above uplift me, encourage and inspire me, your Parents must be very proud of you, do you think they would let me Adopt you???(smile).
If you read my previous Post Son, you will have your answer, small boys grow up to be men! and some become Soldiers. I could not imagine life without a man in it, you are all V.N.P, without men, there would have been No you or me!
Woman are needed too, without them there would also have been No you either or me and besides if there was no men or woman there would be no WordPress which means there would be no Blogs, which means we wouldn’t be having this conversation, which means we are both V.N.P
Thank you again Son, your a blessing, Christian Love from both of us – Grannie Annie.

I’m yet to read your previous post to see what you said about the men, but you can always be assured that you have a son.
My dad left this world on the 21st of November, 2013. I’m looking forward to finding the sweet damsel that will make me a father soon. Her presence will reduce mummy’s concerns. So, with a smile, I can say; I’ve got no grannies, but you!
I’m sure mummy wouldn’t mind watching her son grow into both a father and a grandson…
Smiles!
Your thoughts are always so beautiful, Grannie Annie.
Keep up the good work!

As I said Son both Men and Woman are needed, we are V.N.P = Very Needed People, God created us to be so and Jesus died for us, that shows it is True.
One of the most important lessons I have learned in life Son is we are to aim for in all things Integrity, if we say something we need to believe it and when we do we don’t change our mind when we need to make a hit with someone else when they are promoting the opposite to what we have said previously, even correction can be done in Love without watering down God’s Truth, we need to be genuine and not be like a Chameleon who keeps changing colours .
When I married Ron we wanted a Child, after my loosing 7 babies before, I longed to be a Mummy but it was not to be so, my Uterus was too damaged. I’m so glad Ron and I did not just Marry to have a child but because we Loved and wanted each other, if this had not been so, we would have been totally lost.
We have walked some very rocky roads together and right now things are not as they should be, because of family and personal issues but we both Love each other and this is why there is Hope, when Love dies so does Hope but even if only one has genuine Love there is still Hope because God’s Love is the most powerful force in the Universe and He never gives up on us when He knows we will come to heart repentance and by this showing we believe in Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour.
Blessings – Anne
