To women in the Lord...
There comes a time in every woman's life when she has to take a close
look at herself. Not at her circumstance, not at what she did, not how
unfair life is, or at who made you do it. She has to just look at herself.
Have you ever admired a woman who has been through changes in her life?
Or have you made up in your mind that she is just messed up. Before you
make this mistake, take a closer look. A woman who has endured the
most unusual life is someone of wisdom, someone who has been chosen by
God to go through things that have made her stronger.
Think of all the great women in the Bible: Mary Magdalene, Ruth and
Naomi, the woman with an issue of blood, and Esther, to name a few.
Mary was a prostitute, a very uneasy woman. But by the time Jesus was
done with her, she was His closest follower. Esther was unfortunate in
marrying an abusive man, but by the time God was done with her, she had
married one of the wealthiest men in the land! .
Women are so quick to beat the next one down instead of trying to hold
her up. Before you wonder, "What's up with her?" ask yourself, "What's
up with me?" That woman could be my mother, sister, aunt, in-law,
stepmother, niece, grandmother, great-grandmother, neighbor, friend, or co-worker, etc. That woman could be ME.
Women are the carriers of life, not the channels of death. Let's build
and encourage each other, as did Ruth a nd Naomi. Pass this to all the
women in your life.
Encourage and love, forgive and forget, and trust that the woman that
receives this will be touched in some way
