I think the term virtuous may be redefined eventually. When you hear of a virgin, auctioning off her virginity, and the bid is over a million, and she's still running the auction, hoping it'll achieve an even greater bid, it makes you wonder... how does one define virtuous? I'm sure it exists, I don't believe anything is short of a miracle, it's just not newsworthy, and it might be a small minority...

We as women need to understand that God has never thought of women as secondary. Just as many virtuous women in the bible had integral parts to play in God's divine plan, so do we. Take for instant Sarah, who trust and had faith in God, yet blamed Him and step out of His will. „« Sarah's story is a great reminder that God does not require that you be perfect, nor does He promise that your life will be. Understand God sees through your present faults, God is a faithful, forgiving God and reckons us (that is treats us as if we were righteous) He looks To Our Future Faith. Speaking of God's unyielding forgiveness, He changed her name from Sarai which meant Noble Woman, to Sarah, which means Princess. Now, of course I could be reading more into this than is here, but I feel that God calling her Princess is so symbolic.
Despite Sarah's imperfections, He had taken her as His daughter. Why?
Because God, unlike man, does not just see who you are today, He sees who He has destined you to become. And, as a daughter of the King of Kings, what name would be more fitting than Princess.
„« What makes us virtuous is „« Our place in God's divine plan „« Our challenges along the way „« Our victories and milestones

You have posed some very good points to ponder when you mention "Virtuous Woman" which so many of us struggle to fulfill this role of becoming perfect. One thing for sure if we stay in God word, pray, seek his face regarding all issues of our life as we grow in him we move into his perfect will. God sees and knows the desires of our heart and that is to be more like him in all that we do, and say. I think it is so befitting to remember according to Matt 21:22 " All things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive, and with that being said we can ask God to help us in our areas of weakness as it pertains to becoming that Virtuous Woman, and I'd like to say thank God for his grace and mercy as we continue to become more and more like him as we allow him to enter in. We grow in grace and the milestones reminds us how he has kept us on this journey to become virtuous. God Bless
