I was privileged to have a young women in my office a few weeks back talking about things quite frankly I usually have no passion for...except this time the Lord gave me a startling wake up call!
I need to step out of my bubble and get to being about His business. Even when I don't think I can make a difference...well truthfully I can't, but He can!
She struck a cord with me...she said "Every woman has something to offer."
Wow! That was a Zing right to the heart of hearts. Yes, she was right. All women have something to offer! Not just the Beth Moore's or Joyce Meyers' out there. (I do hold those women in high regard) Every women...that means me...that means you. I'm every women, you are every woman!
It's like that goofing song...I'm every women! I thought this is a new concept for most women. It's an empowering concept! It's an uplifting concept! This can revitalize churches...let's rise up as women and heed the call God has for all of us!
Whether you are an at home mother, a taxi driver, school teacher, maid, a vice president of a bank, a lawyer, a field worker, a physical therapist....it doesn't matter what you do, you impact those around you! You count! You matter to Jesus! You can change the world by your love and devotion. You can. You can! You have a uniqueness. You are like no one else. Your story, is yours. How you encountered Jesus is your own special tale. You can motivate, you can console, you can help, you can guide, you can advise, like no one else can!!!
Every woman has something to offer means we are of value. All women seek approval in some form or fashion, the Lord has already put His stamp of approval on you. His stamp will never go void. His stamp never gets out dated. His stamp never expires.
You are chosen for a special calling. You are picked because of your abilities. You are important to the ministry of God. You might be a recovering alcoholic, who can love folks with addiction like no one else can. You might have a disability or and illness, that allows you to offer comfort to someone who is struggling with it.
Look at your life and your circle of influence. Now close your eyes and imagine expanding it to the world. You have something to offer. You have something to present to the Lord, yourself. Think about this, The Lord of all creation, knew you before you were ever born! You matter to God. He knew you, He knows you. Discover what opportunities the Lord presents to you. You have something to offer!
If your floundering, pray for direction. If you're unsure, ask the Lord for clarity. If you are so busy in life you don't make time for God, stop and be still and know He is your God. If you're fearful, ask God for courage.
Every woman has something to offer....be the woman God has called you to be. Don't hold back, don't slow down, move forward with confidence in your Savior, Jesus!
“She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. She speaks with wisdom and faithful instruction on her tongue.” Proverbs 31:25-26
