I Timothy 3 defines what women should be:
Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious
gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
Dignified means worthy of
respect, to gossip is to talk about someone in a bad manner behind their backs,
temperate means to show self-restraint, and faithful means to be trustworthy.
The only way to have all of that
is to have Christ in our hearts and to reflect his goodness and mercy toward
others.
If we want good relationships
with our friends, our spouses, and those we have yet to meet, we need to allow
Him to work in us to be the women who shine in these areas.
Instead of trying to achieve
beauty, fame, and wealth – which are fleeting and decrease with age – why not
go for dignity, praise of others, self-control and faithfulness?
Those things will make us
beautiful inside…and out.
