Dear friends, today we will talk about a very important topic – about women who fear God. After hearing this, many may wonder, why “fear”? Actually, fear here does not mean fear, but respect and honor. There are many beautiful and deep meanings hidden in it. Let’s see a little more detail.
When we love someone very much, do we want to make their heart sad? No, rather, we want to do everything for their happiness and well-being. Similarly, fearing God means respecting and loving Him so much that we never want to make their heart sad.
When a woman fears God in this way, she becomes a truly valuable asset. Do you know why? Because she reflects God’s love and mercy in her life. Her every action, every word oozes respect for God.
Imagine, you have a friend who always helps others, treats everyone well. Doesn’t she become an inspiration to you? Similarly, such women become a source of inspiration for the people around them.
The Bible book of Proverbs, chapter 31, beautifully describes such a woman. It says that she is not only hardworking but also wise and kind. Imagine a person who works hard, but also practices wisdom and is kind to everyone – what a beautiful combination!
Such women are respected by both their family and society. But most importantly, at the root of all these qualities is their deep respect for God.
