The Beauty of Femininity

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: A number of years ago, I remember watching a world skating championship for the women's free-skate program. My ears perked up when I heard the commentator, Dick Button, talk about one of the performances. He said, “She’s a very ladylike skater. She makes me feel relaxed when I watch her.” He was describing the beauty of femininity.

There’s something engaging about femininity when it’s truly lived out. When women are true women and men are true men, it can touch people in powerful ways. It reflects the order God intended when he created man in His own image—“male and female he created them” (Gen. 1:27).

You don’t have to be a championship figure skater to display femininity. Could someone say of you, “She’s a very ladylike teacher” or “a ladylike executive” or “a ladylike mom”? Whatever position or season of life you’re in, glorify God by being a true woman.
