One of the definitions of
beauty at dictionary.com is “a beautiful person, espe-cially a woman”. I would
agree when we think of beauty in a person we generally think of women, however
we can see beauty in the actions of any person; male or female. The Bible has
much to say about the beauty of women. Beautiful women may be defined as such
because of physical features, but in the Bible we see more about beauty as
defined by character. In Proverbs 31 we even see an entire chapter devoted to
what King Lemuel’s mother taught him about the ideal woman. She taught him to
look for something beautiful in the woman that he would have for his wife
because God made all women to be something beautiful. Take a look at these
twenty beautiful Bible verses for women.

man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. Then the man said, “This

wife see that she respects her husband.
Colossians 3:18 Wives,
submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Titus 2:2-5 Older men are
to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in
steadfastness. Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not
slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, and so train
the young women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled,
pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the
word of God may not be reviled.

wives, be subject to your own husbands, so that even if some do not obey the

see your respectful and pure conduct.

the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.”

All places where women are
excluded tend downward to barbarism; but the moment she is introduced, there
come in with her courtesy, cleanliness, sobriety, and order- Harriet Beecher
Stowe
God is looking for
imperfect men and women who have learned to walk in moment-by-moment dependence
on the Holy Spirit. Christians who have come to terms with their inadequacies,
fears, and failures. Believers who have become discontent with ‘surviving’ and
have taken the time to investigate everything God has to offer in this life.–
Charles Stanley
What women rightly long for
is spiritual and moral initiative from a man, not spiritual and moral
domination.- John Piper
