Called to a quiet spirit

Today might be a little difficult to accept by a few of you. And by a few of you, I mean me. If you have a spirit that is loud, outgoing, passionate, energized, opinionated, what we are going to talk about today will be challenging. Because we are going to tackle 1 Peter 3:3-4. It says “Do not let your adornment be merely outward—arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel— rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.”Incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit…I don’t know about yall, but I struggle with having a quiet and gentle spirit. Opinionated doesn’t even begin to touch the surface of who I am. I am bold in what I am passionate about. You want an honest opinion, I am ya girl!  I am super competitive and want to win. I don’t mind taking charge, being the boss, and delegating jobs to people in the group. (I was the one, in school, who took charge of the group project and made sure everything was done correctly.) But we also can’t ignore what 1 Peter says. Our adornment (things we put on to enhance our beauty and worth) cannot just be outwardly. We can’t just look the part of being a Christian woman. We have to act the part too. And acting the part comes with having “incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight.” So stay with me. I can already feel the resistance. Gentle and quiet might not be your forte, but would you agree that because they are characteristics precious in God’s sight, that they are things we need to pursue? I agree too. If it is precious in God’s sight, then I need to strive for those things. _______________________________________________________Have you been wanting to grow a closer relationship with God but just don’t know where to start?
