It's tough being a woman, let alone a Godly woman {not religious, Godly} When you consider all the parameters and criteria that qualifies you to be called Godly, the standard seems to high and you are right! Yes, right. But GOD CAN. It is He who works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure Philipians 2:13. Our righteousness to Him is as filthy rags anyways Isaiah 64:6, so why try on your own... let go and let GOD.
