The Disabled Wife and the Proverbs 31 Woman

[@michaellacoopman2303]

I’m a disabled mother as well. Glad to find this.

[@robertamaziero5677]

Omg thank you so much for this! I have depression and sometimes I feel really sad for not doing what women in my age usually do, and listening to what pastor John said has set me free from these thoughts… God can be glorified is so many ways, including through my ill!

[@TheTinkerersWife]

Thank you for speaking on the form of our abilities. I used to attend a church that venorated the Proverbs 31 woman...I've been disabled for nearly 20 years and it was such a difficult season in my life. I took to using my strength to serve my husband as much as I was able and spent time in God's Word, time praying and encouraging others and that was about all I could do. But I was not the picture of that woman, but something else. How Satan wanted to bring me to envy and be desparing of my circumstances at times. Even church members were not understanding at times and that was the worst part. In the years since attending that church I have made peace with my abilities and been able to give myself more fully to the Lord, who has not been like man expecting me to be something I am unable to be. He strengthened and encouraged me, blessing me with compassion for others in greater degree and much more. So again, thank you for this word.

[@debrastrickland8870]

Thank God for the woman for asking and for your response! I became disabled 2&1/2 years ago, and I struggle with these very issues every day ! Your words are a tremendous encouragement to me and I’m sure many others.

[@sherrilindstrom3064]

I had severe migraines. It taught me Jesus is my best friend. I learned to trust and obey because I had so little energy. We will pray for all of you! Thank you so much for this message!

Remain faithful even in suffering. Be strong in the grace that you have because you belong to Christ. Thank you.

[@daleneswanepoel7586]

This was LIFE CHANGING!!!!! Because if we read and apply God's Word...that is exactly what should happen. I live with an "invisable" disability...endometriosis. It comes with chronic pain and a host of other debilitating factors. Often I have become so frustrated and bitter because how can I fully accomplish what God has set out for me? Now I know it is ok! God values my faithfulness - doing the best with what I do have... Beautifull, faithfull, compassionate God!!!!

[@mikerutkowski7265]

You are suffering simply because you do not understand scripture and so you are living in sin. There is only one truth from God and the rest is all lies that are being fabricated by the many who are lost and deceived. This is why you had better be very sure of what you are believing since there are millions of preachers who are leading many souls astray with their misguided interpretations of scripture. The vast majority of believers are so deceived in fact that many are foolishly believing that scripture is relating that they can never stop sinning. They clearly have no idea that God commanded us to live a holy and righteous life which can only be achieved by no longer sinning. Since we are all born in sin and in ignorance of God’s word and truth this is the reason why Jesus came into this world. Jesus came to forgive us of the sins that we have already committed and He came to teach us how to stop sinning through His Holy Spirit. Jesus certainly did not come to forgive our past, present and future sins as many of the deceived desire to believe and there are no such scriptures that even back up that nonsense. This spoken untruth is having people believe that they can continue to sin and then simply repent and God will just forgive them over and over. This twisted reasoning would mean that you can steal and then repent, you can lie and then repent, you can murder and simply repent. You can keep committing whatever sin you desire and just repent afterwards and you will always be forgiven. Jesus came to call sinners to repentance which meant for them to no longer sin. So to try and justify why they still sin many deceived believers will twist the meaning of scriptures like 1 John 1:8-1O or Romans 3:10, 3:23 and 7. For some foolish reason these lost souls desire to believe that Paul and the apostles continued to sin and they will often twist the Romans 7 scripture to try and back up their lies. These deceived believers fail to realize that we have all been sinners at one time in our lives and Paul was simply relating how he was a sinner until he was freed by knowing Christ. They clearly overlook how Paul related that he had died to sin and he was no longer a slave to sin in Romans 6. Many also love to twist what the I John 1:8-10 is relating in order to justify their sin. This scripture is simply relating that everyone is born a sinner since we are all born in sin and ignorance of truth. It is saying that this is why we need to repent and confess our sins to God so that He will then forgive us. It is also stating that anyone who believes that they have never sinned is then calling God a liar. But nowhere is this scripture ever relating that a believer will always sin as those who follow the devil and his lies desire to believe. The Romans 3:10 is relating that none of us are righteous since we are all born in sin and this is why we needed a savior to teach us how to stop sinning. Romans 3:23 is actually stating the same thing since we are all born in sin and we all fall short of the glory of God. Many believers who are lost and deceived try to justify their sin by claiming that the apostles were sinners themselves and they will often use the scripture where Peter denied Jesus as their justification. When they do this nonsense they are clearly revealing their complete ignorance of scripture and they prove how they are being guided by a demon spirit and not the Holy Spirit. So did the apostles all sin at some time in their lives? They most definitely did since everyone is born in sin and in ignorance of truth. Now did Peter sin when he denied Christ? He most certainly did but many overlook how this occurred before Peter was sanctified in truth. Next, did Peter sin when Paul corrected him in Galatians 2? No he did not since Peter was following the Old Covenant laws that he was raised under and Paul was simply revealing how their old custom traditions should no longer apply under God’s New Covenant. Many believers are so lost and deceived that they are not comprehending what scripture is relating and they do not understand that the apostles were originally sinful disciples who allowed Jesus to sanctify their heart in God’s truth. This meant that the apostles were sinners who willingly followed the teachings of Jesus and they allowed Jesus to teach them how to overcome their sins. This is why God then used them as His messengers and He gave them His power to heal. Read John 17:6-19 where Jesus prayed for His disciples sanctification to prove what I relate. Another thing that the many deceived believers clearly overlook is how scripture relates that God does not listen to the prayers of sinners. God’s word never lies so this alone proves that the apostles could never have performed healing miracles if they were still sinners themselves. Jesus could work healing miracles because He was sinless and so God then answered His prayers. The apostles then reached the place where they overcame their sins as well and so this is why God then answered their healing prayers. “Now we know that God does not hear sinners; but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does His will, He hears him.” ‭‭John‬ ‭9:31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Scripture relates that anyone who is born of God does not sin and because they can no longer sin this is why they can no longer get sick since sickness only comes from sin and the devil. So if you can still sin and you can still get sick then that certainly proves that you are not BORN AGAIN. This is why many believers who live in sin and sickness will try and justify their afflictions by twisting the meaning of various scripture like claiming that Paul’s thorn in the flesh was a sickness. Many lost and ignorant souls desire to believe that Paul was always sick or that Paul was someone who had bad eyesight so allow me to reveal just how deceived these believers truly are since I will explain what Paul was relating in the 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 scripture. First, what does a thorn in the flesh do? Well it causes pain and suffering. So just as Jesus suffered in the wilderness by being tempted by Satan, Jesus then allowed a messenger of Satan to tempt Paul in order to make him stronger in the Holy Spirit. “And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure. Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭12:7-10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ If Paul was able to remove the sickness from everyone who came to him then what could possibly make anyone believe that he was someone who had sickness in his own life? Couldn’t Paul just remove the sickness from himself as he did with those who came to him for healing? Plus if Paul was bitten by a venomous snake and yet it did him no harm how could anyone possibly believe that Paul was someone who could then get sick himself? “Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. Little children, let no one deceive you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just as He is righteous. He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭3:4-9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So scripture clearly states that whoever sins does not know God and whoever sins is of the devil. Scripture also clearly relates that whoever abides in God and is born of God cannot sin and does not sin. So anyone who sins or anyone who believes that they can never stop sinning is simply a deceived believer who cannot comprehend what scripture is relating since they are blinded to truth. They are being influenced by the lies of a demon spirit and they certainly are not being guided by the Holy Spirit. There is no sin and sickness with God and there is no sin and sickness for the true children of God. So if you are someone who can still get sick then that alone proves that you have not overcome sin. You are deceived in your beliefs and you certainly do not understand the blessing that Jesus provided for all of mankind.

Love the scriptural regerences! It's about our contentment in every situation and we find assurance in the One who knows the depths of our hearts! His emphasis on quality of character over productivity drives home our Christian purpose, as our faith is tested and His Love poured into our hearts!

[@williamcopeland6683]

It's always sat sideways in my Spirit when entire ministries are built on this.. not that we shouldn't build our lives around the Spirit of Wisdom deposited from God.. this psalm to me was pointing to the relationship of the sevenfold Spirit of Jesus as a wife.. a personification of Wisdom.. not an actual woman

John Piper is a false teacher. The Proverbs 31 woman is Christ. The Proverbs 31 woman account is a picture of Christ and His work for His elect

[@Gracepjvirojph]

Don't you think the term "false teacher" shouldn't be used too loosely? As pastors, they have to give their lives to the study and training for the gospel.

[@john146muaythai]

@@Gracepjvirojph You believe a false gospel. Piper teaches a false gospel.

[@john146muaythai]

@@Gracepjvirojph The gospel means “good news”. The gospel is the proclamation of who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only. The entire Bible (Old testament and New Testament) foreshadows and proclaims who Jesus is and what He did for His elect only (John 5:39, Luke 24:44). Jesus is the Son of God (John 3:16), fully God and fully man (John 1:1 & 1:14) and second person in the Trinity (Matthew 3:16-17). The gospel is God’s testimony concerning Jesus as revealed in the Holy Scriptures by the Holy Spirit which proclaims how Jesus the Christ (John 1:41, Matthew 16:16) was born of a virgin (Matthew 1:23) and born under the law to redeem His elect who were under the law and save His elect from their sins (Matthew 1:21, Galatians 4:4). God’s elect /sheep are the people past, present and future from every tribe, tongue and nation God actively chose to redeem/ justify/save based on Christ. God chose in Christ before the foundation of the world was laid according to the good pleasure of His will for His glory (Revelations 5:9, Ephesians 1:4-5). God actively created and chose a people from every tribe, tongue and nation before they were born for salvation whom God has always loved because of Christ and only Christ (Romans 8). God’s elect are vessels of mercy prepared beforehand for glory to make known the riches of His glory (Romans 9). God’s elect/sheep are God’s chosen vessels of mercy that are Jews and Gentiles because of Christ. (John 10, Romans 9:23-26, Hosea 2:23) God is Holy (Isaiah 6:3). God’s law is holy and good (Romans 7:12). The law of God demands perfection in word, thought, and deed at all times (James 2:10). The law was given through Moses (John 1:17). The law condemned all mankind and brought knowledge of sin (Romans 3:19-20). All people are under sin and none are righteous (Romans 3:9-18). Sin entered the world through Adam and death through sin and death spread to all mankind because all sinned. (Romans 5:12-13). Jesus Christ is the Passover lamb without blemish (1 Peter 1:19) for His elect by God’s sovereign grace (1 Corinthians 5:7). Just as the Israelites were released from Egypt after the death of the firstborn (Exodus 11-13) - Jesus Christ the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15) justified all His elect at the cross from the wrath of God(Romans 5:9-11). Jesus willingly went to the cross (Philippians 2:8) and offered one sacrifice for all time for His elect He sanctified (Hebrews 10:11-14) as their representative and High priest. Jesus was crucified for the elect’s sin and raised for their justification (Romans 4:25). It pleased God the Father to crush His only begotten Son( Isaiah 53:10) and God the Father accepted Jesus’ perfect sacrifice on behalf of His sheep( Acts 2:23) . Jesus paid His elect’s sin debt and there is now no condemnation for those who are married to Christ (Romans 7-8). By Christ’s knowledge He justified all His elect (Isaiah 53:11) and finished His mission (John 19:30). All of God’s sheep will believe God’s testimony concerning Christ because Jesus justified them by His perfect sacrifice on the cross. Not one sheep Jesus died for will perish. Jesus is the good shepherd. Faith(believing God’s testimony concerning Jesus) is the fruit of what Jesus accomplished for His sheep. God’s sheep are righteous before God by the imputed righteousness of Christ provided at the cross as prophesied in Psalm 32 and fulfilled in John 19. All Jesus died for are regenerated at God’s appointed time to believe God’s testimony concerning Christ on who Christ is and what He did at the cross( Acts 13:48).

[@myka8712]

I understand this but there can also be beautiful people who do seek Jesus, who do love God and live Godly lives. They can be beautiful inside and out but see that's not everyone's reality because someone such as myself are born just naturally ugly and are trying to work on develop on inner beauty, strength and character. To be honest with you all I am upset with God quite honestly there shouldn't even be ugly or average looking people such as myself in this world. If God loves everyone then go ahead make everyone all equally beautiful and attractive in the same extent not some more some less or of nothing at all. I understand beauty fades over time but you guys realize who we all are will always be. It's unfair. So pretty much I was fated it the wrong way unfortunately and I'll live forever being ugly and filipino. I understand God thinks I'm beautiful but I never do and I never will or even want to accept something forced upon me to become and to be. Like God what did I ever do to you for you to decide this fate on me. Its an ugly decision and you made me ugly when you can do so much better. Why would you make me ugly and filipino. Why would you give me a flat nose, small chinky ey3s, thin lined eyebrows, when you can make everyone else so special and well done and beautiful. No please everyone don't tell me I am fearfully and wonderfully made because I never will or even want to accept me it is forced upon me my race, how I am how I look and my being is all forced and shoved to me. I understand that it's people who are sinful who crticisize on others but the truth is nobody would even ha e something to say or criticize someone on and call the names or ugly because that doesn't happen for everyone be abuse for whatever reason God actually made really good people on here it's just that not everyone he made well done not everyone he did great some he did more and that's the truth. And guess what everyone has to be them forever. I have to be this ugly Filipino Asian girl forever. He just made me ugly a d made such an ugly decision over me. I never know how he thinks it's beautiful and amusing to create someone with a flat nose, super small eyes, and so thin eyebrows and messed up. Yes I've been hurt by so many people in my life I feel ugly and people tell me I am ugly and I was used many times but guess what? It's God's fault because in the end of the day I could've love myself and accepted me when nobody would if I wasn't done this way but when you really are born this way whose to blame really its God understand not all people get told there ugly all their lives or used not all. Because God happened to make some people really well and others have to be beat up for something that they had no control over and isn't there fault they became into. I'm not apologizing for this at all. Because in the end I'm still always going to be me forever and God messed up making me Filipino when he could've made me beautiful andEuropean, Hispanic, or Caucasian too but I guess 6he decision over me just had to be so mediocre. It's not peoples fault they get told they are disgusting, etc understand God could've really made every single person all equally beautiful in the same extent he just choosed not to and everyone has to live being called their a scum, disgusting, ugly, all their lives and thing is even they can never accept and love themselves either. Because it is true im never accepting how God made me and I'll never like myself about it never ill never accept he made me Filipino and never accept I came out looking and becoming this person out of all the fates I could've ended up in life. Like I dont ever ever want to be me ever but I'm stuck at it and will be forever and ever for all eternity. I wish God never made me. I wish I never existed or I can stop existing all together. Like if you made me this way so you can get glory, yes you are getting the glory, one where I'm a this forever and ever. I never wanted to be me but you forced it and shoved me in this earth and made me into a this but every where else you do so well on. Nobody had to be called ugly nobody had to be so be abuse quite frankly why didn't you make everyone all equally so in the same extent no you didn't. You just think okay ill make the pretty, the average, the ugly, and the disabled all for your glory. This really is not peoples fault it's just bad fortune some get the better decision handed over them and some do not. I'm forever a this it's not like God's going to make me magically turn white,Hispanic, or European in the next life he got me stuck being Filipino forever and also ugly forever and I'll always never accept it or love it please don't pity me I'm just being honest. I'll delete my comment later but I just had to put it here because it's true God forced us to exist, God forced me to exist and be my race and forced me to occupy a body and be this and look this way and be a me shoved it all up on me something that was put against my will and one ill have to be for all eternity. I'm never going to accept myself never because I think its ugly and messed up and he could've given me a different fate in life. Aside from being ugly andAsian, filipino I am also a very slow learner and clueless about alot of things I am dumb too and it makes it hard when I go to work or school. All in all I don't care whatever happens to me, I never want to be me and if my soul, my spirit and me cease to exist and no longer will be praise be to God. I hate that I am born Filipino, that I had to end up being Asian, ugly, and not bright.

[@schmath7416]

I read your comment and I understand what you’re saying, but being considered subjectively “good looking” whatever that means at whatever point in history.... it doesn’t make anyone happy. The pretty people are just as if not more miserable than anyone else. At the time of my life where I was probably the “nicest looking” to other people I was the most miserable, in pain, self loathing, wanted to die, lonely, unhappy, heart shattered, confused, crushed etc. I’ve been around the world and seen that the most simple people who don’t care how they look are by FAR the happiest and most fulfilled people. What you look like foe a season of your life doesn’t keep you safe from tragedy in your life or severe pain and unhappiness. And I’ve seen for many people their outward appearance even become a sort of curse over them... causing the attention they received when they weren’t mature enough to make them make terrible life altering decisions. In eternity those who were close to the Lord and contrite in spirit now will be the most beautiful and shining with glory.

[@andrespalacio9530]

Dear sister, don't be so sad. God didn't make you randomly. He specifically made you the way you are ("He knew you before He formed you in the womb" and even "every hair of your head are all numbered"). There's a reason for He making us the way He did, even when we can't understand it. There's is a reason, I promess you. He DIED for you. You are VERY important for Him.

[@myka8712]

I understand you too sister I see both perspectives on this in which spectrum people fall under. Also many thanks for sharing your story and putting it out here, I hear you and I I get you on that....... I myself have always hated I mean seriously hated God for making me Filipino, making me Asian and ugly. I always wished I was born Caucasian, European, Hispanic, etc. And it hurt when I think why did God do that for many people and not me. I know looks fade over time but we are eternal beings and who we are will always be. If I felt so stuck in the race and in the me I became here in this world its a forever thing, ill always be this for all eternity ill always still be Asian, still be Filipino and forever still be a me that's what I mean because we are eternal beings, souls in this life we age and fade away but who we are will always be and I never will accept the heritage, and how I am and came to be I simply don't. I had gone through so much pain although put my life starting from childhood up to now being an adult because up to this day I question God and tell him why, why did you make me Filipino why did you make me Asian why is this my fate and why am I to turn into a this and one ill always forever be. I have been invisible to the majority all my life and I am a single mom with a 3 month baby by a friend of mine and he being a coworker also who I fell for but never liked me he liked another girl who is attractive, beautiful, and kind and Mexican like him so as far as the situation goes I realize it's much more intense than simply being rejected because it played with what my issues had always been being ugly and being Filipino, being Asian. It's one thing to be hated on but it's another when you can never love yourself because you really are just flat out ugly and filipino. Getting an ugly Asian girl pregnant when he has another girl just like him who is Hispanic and actually beautiful and kind and sweet. Its harsh but that's reality, yes I do degrade myself but I don't feel bad about it because it's true and it's not my fault God decided it upon me and forced it upon me to be this all of this. And I just know in the next life it's not like God would turn meEuropean, Hispanic, or Caucasian, etc and be great his kept me jailed up being this forever as a fate. He just decide bad on me. Theres actually people in this world who are beautiful outwardly but also beautiful inside and do love Jesus and are true Christians that's just not how it is for me because his decision over me is a horrible one and I didnt think that when he said I'm made this way for a reason and I'm supposed to be designed and be this, I'd come out being me like him telling me im made this way for a reason meant I am fated to be a mediocre girl imagine God telling other people they are made that way for a reason and should be them on purpose and he made them the way they are it seems like a compliment because when he actually did say that they are supposed to be them and are that way for a reason and he made them that way he actually did a good job and did infant make them well but him telling me that seems like I really am fated as to be a mediocre person on purpose and that's my fate forever.. I feel you sister, but truly just wanted to be genuine here. I may sound crazy to some but I didn't want to hold back on what I've always been feeling. I know I can be loving, kind, caring, and christ like but I'll never ever accept me and because I am this which will be forever for all eternity then I'll hate how I am for all eternity too. God you should have made everyone all beautiful all equally so and in the same extent not some more some less and some not at all. Yes you are the creator but understand it is us the people who will end up being us for all eternity and be ourselves forever and ever and live out the life not you. Why do some people have to be called ugly or disgusting? Should people really be blamed for this for criticizing when not everyone lives and get called that all their life not everyone does and you happen to make the not everyone on the other side of the coin too, so why people when everyone could've been made well and special and not less before people had something to say and to insult about i, they didn't have to because it was up to your hands it started with you. Thee me you put out here the me you made feels less than and nothing to me and I will never apologize for that. So if people call me ugly all my life I'd just say I'm so sorry you feel threatened or feel that way trust me I hate and don't like myself too but understand that my body, my face, and every part of me is not me, it's not under my control it was forced upon me. And if people tell me im just believing lies from the enemy, even if the enemy is not I would still think and feel the exact same way and that's truth. I never ever want to be me because the me is ugly, Filipino ill never accept this forever that I came out Asian, came out Filipino its a bad unfortunate choosing over me, no. Like not only did you make me Asian you decided to make me an ugly one too and really dumb and clueless. I always think back on the earlier years of my childhood and looking back thinking how did I end up in this and be born here and be this wa how did I end up with this eternal fate on me. When everyone else is getting born some place else and not Filipino, not Asian and not ugly, and never for all eternity fated to be that. Whatever that reason is it landed on me and I hope when I was a soul before coming on earth that reason he had had never landed on me. Such a thought and a reason would land some place else and not me because when all is done and decided with it will be me forever and since I'm Filipino, ugly, and dumb, and a me then I'll go right on ahead and hate myself for all eternity too because for all eternity I'd still be Filipino, still be Asian and still be a this. I dont love myself, respect myself or take myself seriously but that's because I'm garbage and God can never make me come to like myself. By no means am I trying to get pity here I'm just straight out being all honest to everyone. Love and peace :)

Please pray for me brothers and sisters to be a person of virtue, kindness, compassion, love, etc. Please pray that I make something worthwhile in my life and impactful like mother Teresa, and all the people we look up to who have died to self and used up all their lives in service to others and God. I still feel and think as I do but I really think about it the kinds of things happening all around me. I want a change of heart, character and mind. I may never accept myself and always in the back of my mind think why did God make many beautiful people in this world who also can love him and be beautiful inside and out and why I'm not one of those people he did and why he had to make me Filipino why I had to be Asian and ugly because that's the truth I'm never going to accept that I am born Filipino I am born Asian and I look and am this it's never going to ever happen. Not gonna lie ill never ever accept that bevause it's the whole truth I will never accept me and how I'm made to be its never ever happening not even for eternity because what's done is done I'm here now and an eternal individual what's done is done I'm not this this isn't supposed to be me but somehow I hope now I can try to move forward and focus on the good and remove mirrors and never look at myself from now on.. I apologize Jesus.
