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.
-Proverbs 31
What is virtue? Virtue is a kind of moral excellence, it is also efficacious, good, or of beneficial quality; giving advantage. Who can indeed find such a virtuous woman that is described such as in the words of this chapter? If you were a woman, you'd be pressured just reading the passages of scripture describing this noble woman who almost does everything without a single beat. A woman of virtue is hardworking and trustworthy. Can women really live up to the high standards that this woman is being spoken about?

Every woman is worth something, but only those that are virtuous are worth more than any treasure there is. This chapter describes what a virtuous woman is. A woman of virtue in the modern day is a woman that exceeds excellence in whatever she does. She is always doing something good, nothing she ever does that causes harm. She doesn't waste her time away doing unproductive things like minding other people's business and just being a busy body. She is hardworking, she doesn't wait for somebody else to bring food to her house. She wakes up earlier than everybody in her house does because she prepares everything for her family. She is not spending money and shopping for only herself all the time. She is strong to do all her work. She is not careless about the things in her house but she is aware of what she needs in her house and gets it before it runs out. For her there is always something to do. She is sensitive to the needs of others and generous to give to the poor. She is not afraid of whatever season or weather it is for she has prepared enough to supply her family with all things. She is vibrant and looks her best, though busy as she is, she is able to maintain her beauty. She is not fruitless but all the work of her hands shall always produce something good and profitable. She is always familiar with whatever goes on in her house and knows where everything is kept. She is loved and praised by her children and her husband adores and respect her.
What every woman gives away she gets back even more. If you are a woman that sows good things, you will reap better things. It goes the same to every gender but a woman who is wise knows how to respect her husband and appreciate who he is, she doesn't even demand respect from him because a man becomes an even better man when he is loved by a good woman. Women are naturally sensitive and have great gifts of discernment however, these gifts can be abused when not used properly and some women end up being paranoid rather than being discerning of people's needs and caring for them. It's either a gift or a curse to be a woman. Girl, you have what it takes to be a gift, you just have to be a blessing.
