Are you Virtuous?

A wonderful man once asked me the question, "Do you consider yourself virtuous?" Not what were my measurements, or what was my favorite restaurant, but did I consider myself virtuous. Honestly, at the time I had no idea what virtue was, so I lied and said yes. I don't think he believed me cause he abruptly changed the subject. But looking back, the answer was a definite NO! And for so many reasons. To begin with, I had no idea what true virtue meant. In those days, (before getting saved), I had heard people mention the phrase"virtuous woman," but I had no idea and to what depth that meant. And honestly, I was the least bit concerned. All I cared about was that I looked nice, that I had the best clothes, partied hard with my friends, and worked hard. So after pondering a great deal, I decided to do some extensive research. Of course, I checked Webster.com, and the term virtuous is defined as, "morally excellent." So I started thinking, okay well maybe I am virtuous cause I do consider myself excellent. I think every human does right? Well, Webster's definition really didn't "tickle my fancy," as the old folks say, so I decided to search the best book there is. Yes, the "good book" aka, the Bible! And it was here (like everything else we find in the Bible) that I got the best answer!
