A female gives birth,
A mother lovingly tends and nourishes her child—
There is a difference in us. A “female” gives birth, but it is a “mother” who lovingly tends and nourishes her child. A “male” may sire a baby, but a “father” provides and instructs. Just words, you say? I think not. What man wants to marry a “female?” Not many. Most would rather marry a “lady!” This has absolutely nothing to do with social rank or financial standing. It has to do with who we are.
Emily Post may tell us which side of the plate to put our fork and spoon, but this is not true refinement. It is Jesus who can make a lady of a female or cause a male to become a gentleman. Living by Christian principles, we become the most caring and mannerly people in the world. As we refine the person who lives inside, we are not only growing in grace, but we are well on our way to “growing to heaven.”
