Virtuous woman vs. Common Woman


When a virtuous woman is wrong, she says: "I was wrong" and learns her lesson. When a common woman is wrong or makes a mistake, she says: "Not my fault" and blames others.

A virtuous woman knows that adversity is the best teacher. A common woman will always feel victim to adversity.

A virtuous woman knows that the outcome of things depends on her sacrifice. The common woman feels helpless and always depends on others.

A virtuous woman works hard and always makes time for everything. The common woman is always "very busy" and never has time for anything.

A virtuous woman faces challenges one by one. A common woman is afraid of challenges and does not dare to face them.

A virtuous woman agrees, gives her word and delivers on what is promised. The common woman makes promises, but does not keep them and only knows how to justify herself when she fails.

A virtuous woman says: "I need to be more virtuous every day". The common woman says: "I'm not so bad, there are many worse than me."

A virtuous woman listens, understands and responds. A common woman does not wait for her turn to speak.

A virtuous woman respects those who know more than her and is always looking to learn something from them. A common woman resists all those who know more than her and is always looking for flaws in them.

A virtuous woman feels responsible for something and gives her all. A common woman is not compromised and says: "I do what I'm given".

A virtuous woman says: "There must be a better way to do this ...". A common woman says: "We always do this. There is no other way."

A virtuous woman always tries to see the good in others. A common woman only sees the negative side.

A virtuous woman builds her house because her attitudes are based on the thoughts of God. A common woman destroys her home with her own hands, through attitudes based on feelings.

A virtuous woman knows that "all things work for good for those who love the Lord". A common woman sees injustice and inequality whenever she is "affected."

A virtuous woman is PART OF THE SOLUTION. The common woman is PART OF THE PROBLEM.

A virtuous woman, like yourself, will read this, feel happy and try to improve. A common woman will read this and be indifferent because she thinks she is fine the way she is and does not need to change.

The Spirit of the Lord



There is nothing in this world more valuable than having the Spirit of God within each of us. Certainly, we all want to be happy, to have success every day. But the greatest achievement a human being can have is this Spirit, because it is an achievement for all time.
Those who possess this Spirit will not give up, but persevere.
They do not get carried away by the difficulties, instead the difficulty is reason for new conquests.
They do not worry about what their eyes are seeing, but remain in the faith, and believe that they are going to see what they have never seen.
In them, the fire is not quenched, since this fire is the very mark of God in their lives.
Every day you start is a chance not to add, but multiply.
They do not care about being different, instead in making a difference in the lives of individuals,
They do not live by words, but by attitudes,
They never give up no matter how difficult the desert is, instead they use the desert to get stronger and grow.
They restore what was destroyed, and once it is renewed they take this strong spirit to the weak.
Their joy is to be used to transform lives and bring justice and salvation.

Let us be careful that our greatest achievement in this world is to maintain Spirit of the Lord within us, because with him we can win the world and not let the world defeat us.

" But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6.33)


“The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give up unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.” Isaiah 61.3

Some steps that can be taken to receive answers in ours prayers



1) Maintain a pure heart: The fountain of life is in our heart, it is the center of our body. From it comes the bad and good feelings, resentments, envy, etc. How can God answer us, if our heart is occupied with feelings that do not please Him? In this case the first thing, beyond believing in God, is to ask Him to clean us and make of us a clean cup. It is necessary to have a broken heart, molded, humiliated and entirely reconstructed, we have to be ready to be molded by God. For example in the case of the wife who has the desire of her husband to be changed by God, thus the first person who should have a new heart is her- the wife.
2) Honestly: We have to be honest with God, and it is necessary that we talk with Him about our yearnings, anxieties, desires and to be honest in relation to what we want. Beginning a sincere dialogue, opening the door of our life, so God can enter, because nothing better exists than Him. Because He knows us. We can to hide something from anyone, other than Him. The word of God show us that He searches our heart...
3) Leave the control in the hands of God: Whatever the situation may be, it is necessary that our desire is in according to the desire God. And He will be able control our lives, we should determine what is it that we want through the our faith allied with our attitudes. But it is necessary to leave the control in the hands of God, not ours.
4) Don’t take attitudes that will stop the action of God: In other words wait for the action of God. Our attitudes many times prevents the action of God, and in this moment we stop trusting fully in the power of prayer, annulling the the action of the Holy Spirit in our lives. That is why it is necessary to have a balance. And know exactly when it is time to act and not hinder what we want.
5) We should trust completely that He has the power: We should trust in Him, because He has the power to transform any situation. As we talked in previous articles, it isn’t easy. I myself, several times have impeded the action of God. Because there are moments we think we are trusting Him very much and when the difficult times come and we are tested, we let go of our confidence and look solely at the problem and it is at this moment that we fail.
If you think that your problem is big, it the actual problem that is saying: your God is small. But if you see your problem as being small, then you see that your God is big, and so much bigger than your problem.
