A True Woman

It has been awhile since I have made a blog entry, and most of that is due to the fact that I do not have a computer desk, and therefore must stand at my counter and type which over time gets hard on the back. This entry is less of my own thoughts and more of an agreement with the thoughts of another. I have had this poem in my possession for quite awhile, but had saved it away, and recently came upon it again with great delight. I pray that whoever reads this poem will be blessed by its honesty and the integrity with which it is written. God has penned the most beautiful words through those who are willing, and because of them we can all learn and take great care and hope from these words because He is alive and well, and He is constantly sending us little and big miracles to prove it. So without further adieu, I present words of truth and wisdom:

A true Woman-By Alexandra Wade

A true woman, is something of a rarity
So much of a rarity, we have degraded her to mere outer beauty.
A true woman is truthful, and honest.
She heals the broken hearted, and shows love to the blind.
She comforts the orphans, and tends to the sick and lacks in nothing but arrogance.
She is the definition of love and needs not outer beauty,
For her inner beauty far surpasses anything of this world.
Giving love to those who need it,
You shall not feel judged in the presence of a true woman,
For every one is equal in her eyes.
Nothing compares to the love of a true woman,
A woman who would look at no other,
A woman who loves with so much compassion and conviction,
It puts you to shame, and yet her soul portrays nothing, except pure forgiveness.
She believes the Lord is the only love she will ever truly need.
She knows that the face of God can be seen in a child,
She knows that the touch of God can be found in the man she loves.
She knows that " to believe is to care, to care is to do."
A true woman knows the eye of God is upon her always,
And her eyes do not stray far from his path.
She will stand for what she believes to be right,
And does not ever stop giving love.
A true woman will lay her life down for any of Gods children.
She has wisdom that has carried her through her life.
A life of heartache, is one in which she has lived.
And sorrow, has shown in her path, and looked as though it lead the way.
However, she did not crumble under turmoil,
Instead she grew, into a woman,
A woman true to her soul.
She has learned to laugh life’s problems away,
And that the only way to get rid of heartache is to cry it out from the depths of your soul.
She has held her head high in victory, and been humbled again with loss.
A true woman sees people for what they are,
She knows that you are only responsible for what you put out,
A true woman knows, you cannot change people,
Only learn to accept them as they are and be a positive influence.
A woman, will stand for justice, and not cower in the night when loneliness comes,
But accept the company of pain and grow stronger from life’s lessons.
She knows that everyone has a heart and soul,
A true woman knows that we all deserve a chance at dignity.
If her enemy is hungry she will feed them,
And forgive them.
A true woman knows also where to draw the line,
She knows when she needs someone to hold her through the cold solitudes of the night.
She is not afraid to ask for forgiveness,
Nor is she afraid to give it.
She sees where people’s weaknesses are, and rebuilds their confidence in themselves.
She speaks only word of kindness, She sees past the scars and the bruises, into the soul that was meant to be seen.
Yes a true woman, a true woman is the most divine creature of God to walk this Earth.
Other then the Christ himself.

Please allow for a moment of reflection, and remember that in weakness there is strength, that we will never be finished this side of Heaven, but we should never stop trying. God is near.

Amen
