Titus 2:3-5
Introduction
While there are a variety of flowers enjoyed throughout the world, roses are one of the most familiar. Roses are known for their beauty and wonderful lasting scent. Even when a rose dies, it can be crushed and turned into potpourri and the smell will continue. Women are like roses, valuable and beautiful in the eyes of the Lord. And when a woman aligns her life with the principles of biblical womanhood, her life then offers a sweet-smelling aroma to the Lord.
The essence of a woman finds its beginning and end in the Lord. When she embraces Christ, a transformative relationship unfolds, and her spiritual sight becomes clear. This allows her to discern His guiding hand in every facet of her life’s journey. The concealed power within a woman emanates from her deep bond with Christ. Do you ever marvel at how women maintain a home, pursue a full-time career, be devoted spouses, and still find time for themselves? It is because women are intricately designed and purposefully created by God. Their worth and self-identity originate from their Heavenly Father, who proclaims them fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
In the same way, God recognized that it was not good for man to be alone, He also understands the significance of companionship for women. Women are encouraged to gather in fellowship by joining a small group, a woman’s fitness group, or meeting other Christian women at church events. Having a core group of women is critical to continuing spiritual development. As a woman embraces her true identity as defined by God, she not only enhances her awareness of her value and worth but also emanates that inner beauty to the world, thus honoring her Savior.
