At The Gate

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works be praised at the city gate." -Proverbs 31:30-31

A woman of God- Proverbs 31 Woman
* Stop trying to be charming and beautiful. Those are temporary things.
A womans heart should be so lost in God that a man must seek Him first in order to find her.
Work on becoming a Proverbs 31 woman and the rest will come. Have faith and trust that God's timing is better than our own.
It only matters what happens at the gate.
