Some good thoughts on being a Godly woman...

Holiness....the sweet aroma that goes up from us to God's nostrils . Our heart when no one is looking. Unperfect, but changed from what it was. With motives that would seek to please God and not grieve His heart. I can truly say with shame that I'm not as faithful in my Bible reading as I was before the children came around. The Reading Bible Plan I have in the useful sites to visit(on the sidebar) gives me good direction and keeps me in line sometimes.
Today I read Romans 12.

v. 1" I Beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
v. 2 And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect will of God."

This was good for me. The mercies of God is what keeps me reading my Bible. It is what helps me to present myself before God, who sees me. It is what helps me to not want to be conformed to this world. It is what tugs at my heart and says, "Hold tight for I don't ever want to forget my first love." The mercies of God...Oh, how I need them to be a holy woman.




Here's a good link. I have enjoyed reading several posts from this site:

This is good. I just had a conversation with someone about the mercy of God and how grateful I am that even when I am not faithful, He is. I never want to take it for granted.....
