Diamonds are a…guy’s best friend?

...

So, I know what you’re thinking…NO that’s wrong…it’s diamonds are a girl’s best friend. But in this particular case I’m not talking about the kind that you wear. I am talking about the kind that are named patience, character, gentleness and personality. They are the kind of diamonds that come in the package called ‘a young woman’.

 If it is the right kind of guy ,the Godly kind of young man that every Godly young woman longs and prays for, he will long for the kind of woman that I am talking about. ‘the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.’ [1 Peter 3:4].

 All of us young women should strive to be that kind of woman, because in the long run, that is the kind of beauty that really matters. Think about it. The cheerleaders at middle and high schools are never remembered. The football players are never remembered. The ones that are truly remembered are the ones that were friendly to everybody-The ones that are genuinely…genuine. If the cheerleaders and football players were genuine, which some are, instead of being so fake, they would also be remembered.

 Also who we should strive to be like is the ‘Proverbs 31 woman’:

10 Who can find a virtuous wife?
      For her worth is far above rubies.
       11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
      So he will have no lack of gain.
       12 She does him good and not evil
      All the days of her life.
       13 She seeks wool and flax,
      And willingly works with her hands.
       14 She is like the merchant ships,
      She brings her food from afar.
       15 She also rises while it is yet night,
      And provides food for her household,
      And a portion for her maidservants.
       16 She considers a field and buys it;
      From her profits she plants a vineyard.
       17 She girds herself with strength,
      And strengthens her arms.
       18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
      And her lamp does not go out by night.
       19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
      And her hand holds the spindle.
       20 She extends her hand to the poor,
      Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
       21 She is not afraid of snow for her household,
      For all her household is clothed with scarlet.
       22 She makes tapestry for herself;
      Her clothing is fine linen and purple.
       23 Her husband is known in the gates,
      When he sits among the elders of the land.
       24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
      And supplies sashes for the merchants.
       25 Strength and honor are her clothing;
      She shall rejoice in time to come.
       26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,
      And on her tongue is the law of kindness.
       27 She watches over the ways of her household,
      And does not eat the bread of idleness.
       28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;
      Her husband also, and he praises her:
       29 “ Many daughters have done well,
      But you excel them all.”
       30 Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing,
      But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
       31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,
      And let her own works praise her in the gates.

This kind of beauty is far more valuable than diamonds!
