Graceful and beautiful pillars are indeed being raised today. I have seen them with my own eyes. They stand out from the crowd. They are being raised for kingdom purposes.
Theirs is a strong and sacred foundaton–the holy scriptures. This is where they are learning the character of the Proverbs 31 women and the mandates of Titus 2:4-6:
1. Learning to love their future husbands
2. Learning to love their future children
3. To be self-controlled
4. To be pure
5. To be keepers at home
6. To be kind
7. Learning to be subject to their future husbands so the word of God will not be maligned
This new generation of daughters are being raised to fear the Lord. They are taught to be feminine women of nobility, courage, diligence, loyalty and submission. They esteem purity and modesty. They strive to be honorable. They are daughters who have vision and remarkable influence as they help to advance the kingdom of God. These daughters have given their hearts to their parents and desire to help and bless them and their families. They learn the value of a meek and quiet spirit as they firmly defend and teach the Word to all who are willing to listen. They know their true purpose because they are serving the Lord wholeheartedly. They embrace how they were designed to be help-meets and seek to be industrious to help their fathers and future husbands. Many are highly educated and well-equipped to teach the next generation about the Lord and prepare for Him an army of warriors.
Godly daughters follow in the spirit of Psalm 144:12 and Titus 2. They are pillars and cornerstones, which is another word often used in this verse, help to support and vital in maintaining a buildings structure. Much in the same way daughters become just as invaluable to a home as they grow and help it to run successfully. Godly daughter’s embrace their father’s vision and take it up as their own. Virtuous daughters being brought up to be godly women are invaluably priceless in the eye’s of the Lord (Proverbs 31:10) and they impact society and culture with a powerful rippling effect.
So, dear Christian Mothers, know that that little daughter sitting next to you is cherished in the Lord’s eyes. The babes she will raise will be the next generation which will serve Him. She will be standing shoulder-to-shoulder with her husband taking dominion and quite possibly be at the helm with him, leading the future church, mentoring men and women alike as they take their place in reforming culture. She will be making strong the fabric of society by taking her place in the home and in her family- making it an example for others to learn from and to bring God glory. Be careful to guide her and protect her. Be careful to teach her all that you know and much, much more. Love her with the love that comes from the Heavenly Father and be found trustworthy of discipling her well.
For those mothers who want to learn more about raising a daughter of virtue, we will have another special giveaway–a Raising Maidens of Virtue book signed by Stacy McDonald, just leave a comment in this post to enter! Ends June 4th at 8pm EST.

I can’t believe I have found this site, it came up on my facebook. I have found the world so confusing for us women, do we teach our girls to get work outside the home, or do we help them learn to be homemakers. Of course the later is the best, and to find material to help in this is phenominal.
Thank you for the encouragement!
This is a great message. I have 8 children, 2 of them beautiful girls. I would love nothing more than for them to grow up desiring to be wives and mothers above all else. Thank you for your devotion to this!
