Portrait of a Godly Woman: Queen-like qualities

Happy September 1st!! :) 

Farewell beloved August, hello dear September! Stepping into a new month seems like a good time for a heart-check, and some reflection on the past month. Really, everyday a heart-check is needed, but today I am thinking about the qualities of the heart that God sees as very beautiful. 

 Queen-like Qualities:

1. Grace filled charm and elegance.
2. Unusual restraint and self-control.
3. Continual teachable spirit.
4. Unselfish modesty and authenticity.
5. Kind winsomeness, regardless of her surroundings.
6. Humble respect for authority. 

The world defines beauty in terms of the outward appearance, but this kind of beauty doesn't last. It will eventually fade away. The God kind of beauty is an "incorruptible" beauty that will not fade away!  

1 Peter 3:4...

"rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God."

That's the kind of beauty a daughter of the King possesses. :) It is *very precious* in God's eyes! 

Proverbs 31:30...

"Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, but a woman who fears the Lord, she shall be praised."
