by Ligia from Virtuous Daughters, April/May 2020~Volume 20, Number 1 Kneeling down before my King,
My precious daughters to Him I bring. How can I raise them to be virtuous and true? Oh Lord, I'm weak; I need You. I can strive to teach them to be morally good, To say the right things, dress the right way, act in a way every lady should. But if I fail to teach them mercy, grace, and love, To live my own life only for God above Oh Lord, they need to be planted by the streams of living water, That is what will make them a truly virtuous daughter. So back on my knees before You I pray, Lord, You need to work in their heart, You are the only way. by Linda S. from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2020~Volume 20, Number 3 “Daughter of mine, a woman so kind,
how did you grow up to be so fine?” A voice in answer so quiet and low, “you trained me up in the way I should go.” Proverbs 22:6 “Daughter of mine, so busy was I, how did I teach you, when found I time?” “Diligently you taught me all through the day, as a young child in a Mother's special way.” Deuteronomy 6:6-7 “Daughter of mine, If this be true, what are some things that I taught you?” “I learned to esteem others better than me. not to love only in words; but also in deed. Philippians 2:3, 1 John 3:18 I learned by example to love sisters and brothers, as I saw you look on the things of others. To always walk in truth you taught, God's commands taught from the heart.” Philippians 2:4, 3 John 1:4 “Mother of mine, You are so kind, You are the one who is so fine. I'd hear you pray, and learn how true, the realness of God is in you.” “Many a time I’ve failed and stumbled, Daughter of mine in tears I’m humbled.” LMS "But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;" 1 Peter 1:15 by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, November 2014~Volume 14, Number 8 Dearest Sisters,
For the past year or so, God has been laying on my heart the importance of faithfulness to Him. I’d like to share with you some gleanings from the life of an ordinary man who held an ordinary job—yet he served an extraordinary God. by Sarah H. from Virtuous Daughters, March 2010~Volume 9, Number 12 The popular culture of today projects a skewed image of beauty. What we are bombarded with by the mass media in no way resembles God’s definition of beauty; it is an intense focus on outward appearances, an exploitation of physical beauty, and a complete ignorance of the true, Christlike beauty that emanates from the inside out. The consequences of this worldly outlook run the gamut from immodesty to eating disorders to disillusionment—and much, much more. If we know that the image of beauty projected to us by the world is fatally twisted and self-destructive, then what is true beauty?
by Brittany S. from Virtuous Daughters, July 2008~Volume 8, Number 4 Dear Virtuous Daughters,
One thing God has been teaching me lately is to apply Galatians 6:2 to my life. “Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” It is easy to go on with life and only think about ourselves, but I have been trying to think about others instead. Sometimes I don’t want to “bear one another’s burdens,” but then I remember Galatians 6:2 and do it. After all, you can’t argue the Bible! by Tiffany S. from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2017~Volume 17, Number 3 Dear Sisters,
I’d like to share with you some things the Lord has been teaching me about a Christian’s appetite. In April, I decided to drastically reduce my refined sugar intake, limiting myself to one dessert per week. At first, it was hard! I craved the many sweet treats I had typically enjoyed each day...watching my siblings eat ice cream or brownies was definitely a challenge. :) Over time, however, my appetite changed. Yes, I still liked refined sugar and sometimes desired it—but not as intensely. Also, baking naturally sweetened desserts from Brittany’s yummy recipes taught me that natural sugar is much more satisfying. Before long, my appetite changed. I didn’t battle sugar cravings; and when I did want something sweet, I actually preferred a naturally sweetened dessert! :) I felt healthier and was soon convinced that consuming refined sugar frequently just isn’t “worth it.” |
