| A STRONG WOMAN vs A WOMAN OF STRENGTH by Luke Easter & Dee Cheeks A strong woman works out everyday to keep her body in shape.... but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape.... A strong woman isn't afraid of anything....... but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear....... A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her... but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone... A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future... a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's blessings and capitalizes on them... A strong woman walks sure-footedly... but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls... A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face.... but a woman of strength wears grace... A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey... but a woman of strength has faith that it is in the journey that she will become strong. |
