The Heart of Women

​The heart of a woman in the Bible is depicted as a "wellspring of life" (Proverbs 4:23), designed to reflect God’s image through strength, dignity, wisdom, and a gentle, quiet spirit. Biblical women are portrayed as crucial, faithful agents of God’s plan, nurturing, leading, and operating with deep faith amidst adversity.

​What does the Bible say about women? Scripture says it this way:

Her children speak well of her. Her husband also praises her, saying, “There are many fine women, but you are better than all of them.” Charm can fool you, and beauty can trick you, but a woman who respects the Lord should be praised. Give her the reward she has earned; she should be praised in public for what she has done. Think of the things we have learned from Mom over the years. For instance, our mothers taught us about anticipation when they said to us,“ - Proverbs 31:28-31 NCV.

What my mother taught me: “Just wait until your father gets home!” Our moms taught us about logic when they said, “Because I said so. That is why.” Moms also taught us about prayer when they said, “You better pray this will come out of the carpet.”

Seriously though, mothers play such a vital role in our society. Mothers not only impact their children, but they also impact their grandchildren and their great-grandchildren. Some impact generations even after they are in heaven because of the truths they passed on.
​
Paul wrote about the impact Timothy’s mother and grandmother had on his life. In 2 Timothy 1:5, he said, “I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.” It shows us the importance of a godly heritage.

Sometimes as moms you might feel like you did not do your job all that well. In fact, you may have young children today, and they are . . . a project. They are a work in progress. Just understand you need to keep praying and never give up because your impact is greater than you may realize.

Our first president, George Washington, said, “The greatest teacher I ever had was my mother.” And President Ronald Reagan said, “From my mother I learned the value of prayer, how to have dreams and believe I could make them come true.”

If you have been a godly mother and you have done your part to raise your children in the way of the Lord, you are a treasure and a blessing. Your value is “above rubies,” as Scripture would say.
