Have you ever given a thought on why God made you a woman? If you have never taken time to ask that question I guess you appreciate the fact that you are a woman. I believe that is the reason why you go for your type of wears, make your hair, make-up and other things you do to enhance your beauty. Anytime you see yourself in a mirror you feel happy.
Do you know that you are worth more than the pretty face you see in the mirror? There is more to you than that pretty lady you see in the mirror.
But do you realize that you are worth far more than the pretty face you see? There is so much more to you than the external beauty reflected in that mirror. If you focus only on your outward appearance, you risk missing what truly defines your worth.
So, what am I saying here? God created you with a divine purpose.
A Woman’s Role: More Than Just a Pretty Face
From the very beginning, God made the woman to complement the man. He declared, “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make a helper suitable for him.” (Genesis 2:18). This means that as a woman, you carry something special—something essential that makes the man complete.
You are that woman, uniquely gifted to enrich your husband’s life and to raise godly children.
However, this will not happen if you focus solely on adorning the outside while neglecting the inward beauty that truly matters.
The Beauty That God Cherishes
The Bible teaches us that the kind of beauty God values most is not outward appearance, but “the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit.” (1 Peter 3:4).
What does this mean? A gentle and quiet spirit reflects kindness, tenderness, peace, and a heart full of love. These qualities are the true makeup of a woman’s inner beauty—a beauty that never fades and is far more attractive than external beauty which fades.
This is what defines a woman’s true worth. A woman adorned with inner beauty has the power to win over her husband and children to the Lord. She cultivates an atmosphere of love, peace, and harmony in her home—an environment that even outsiders can feel when they step in.
Are You Fulfilling Your Role, or Are You Distracted?
Can this be said of you? Or are you so caught up in chasing fashion trends that your home is left vulnerable to the enemy’s attacks?
Maybe you assume that nurturing the family’s spiritual well-being is your husband’s responsibility alone, and if he fails, he is to blame. But let me ask you:
- If your children grow up to be irresponsible in society, would that not trouble you?
- If your husband begins seeking attention elsewhere due to neglect at home, would that not bring you frustration?
You’ve likely seen the heartbreaking state of many young people today—trapped in addiction, wandering aimlessly, unable to differentiate themselves from those who have lost their minds. Many of them are perishing because what should have shaped their lives was never prioritized.
Perhaps you are thinking, “That will never be my portion.”
No woman wishes for such an outcome, but if you fail to take your spiritual life seriously, how will you positively impact your home? Without spiritual strength, how will you guide your children and nurture your family?
Your Role as a Mother and Wife Matters
Some mothers say, “I only gave birth to my children; I am not responsible for their behavior.” But child development experts tell us that a child’s behavior is shaped by the environment in which they grow.
Yes, bad company can have an influence, but remember—children naturally detest a chaotic home. If you don’t create a peaceful, loving, and godly environment for them, they will seek refuge elsewhere; falling prey to negative influences.
So, I ask again: Do you truly know your worth?
- Are you beautiful inside and out?
- Is your beauty cherished by God?
If you are not sure, then it’s time to shift your focus. Embrace the divine beauty that comes from a heart full of grace, love, and godliness. Take your walk with Jesus seriously, and build a home where God’s presence dwells.
Your true worth is not in the mirror—it’s in your heart, your character, and the legacy you build within your family.
