It is the rare woman who doesn’t appreciate a sincere
compliment. There is something affirming about hearing that we are kind, smart,
loving or even generous.
According to the Bible, the Proverbs 31 women’s children
“rise up and call her blessed.” It’s pretty safe to say that there is something
they see being modeled by their mother that demonstrates the life of a blessed
woman. Could it be their gratitude for all that she does for their household?
Maybe she is called blessed because of her attitude. Like those children we
“rise up” and call or compliment people based on something we see in them and
about them that we find delightful and inspiring.
What would make you call someone “blessed”?
Do they always offer an encouraging and uplifting word? Do
they treat others well and receive good treatment from the people who surround them?
Do they model humility as in apologize when wrong as well as offer forgiveness
when necessary?
A truly blessed woman will exude joy, kindness and patience
– the fruit of the Spirit – and she will exude a security based on what she is
being given by her God. Moreover, if you
call her ‘blessed,’ then you will affirm her and inspire her as well.
