Proverbs 31.

we are not merely objects of your fancy.
we are not a game.
we are not something to merely bring you pleasure.
we are not something you can dismiss as soon as we cause inconvenience.
we are not something to lie to.
to play with.
to mock.
to ogle.
we are not your punching bag.
we are not things to be controlled.
commanded.
disrespected.
mistreated.
let us be the women of Christ we are called to be by respecting us and encouraging and expecting us to respect ourselves.

"A wife of noble character, who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her...
Her children arise, and call her blessed;
her husband, also, and he praises her:
'Many women do noble things,
But you surpass them all.'
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting,
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
Honor her for all her hands have done,
And let her works bring her praise at the city gate."
[[Proverbs 31:10-11, 28-31]]
