Godly Young Women

"Like a lily among the thorns,
So is my love among the daughters."
Song of Solomon 1:2

Godly womanhood... the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it
now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women,
sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom
do we hear of a godly woman... It is a far, far better thing in the realms of
morals to be old-fashioned, than to be ultra-modern. The world has enough women
who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world
has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave.
The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need
women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct.

-Peter Marshall, quoted in So Much More.

Sisters, do not be afraid to stand alone. Be willing to be a lily among thorns.
