EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
Many times, we walk through painful and trying times in our lives only to notice others who may be prancing around from day to day unscathed from adversity. Don’t let that frustrate you or get you off track. We all have times that we ask “why,” or is something off with me?
It’s tempting to want to throw in the towel and jump into someone else’s story or chapter in their life, especially when times are tough in our own life…it happens every day to so many of us.
We can not give up or get aggravated. We can’t quit just because we are walking through a difficult time or struggle to live. Please don’t give up. Please stay the course with our Lord because when we do, we will absolutely love the outcome that comes in the end. God turns our messes into messages. He is at work right now in your life for His glory.
We are all in this life together, and it’s not always easy to bear. We can face different needs at various times. While some are facing difficulties,  others are walking on a puffy cloud.
Are you at a  phase of growth and development, or are you at a time of emptiness needing to be filled? None of us should judge or be jealous of someone else’s life. Though others may not appear to have difficulties at the same time you do, you never know what’s going on behind closed doors. Don’t look at the outward things and think everyone else is just hunky dory.
All of our hard work is precious to God, no matter what it looks like. Remember, you are a work in progress, and the priceless work you are doing here on earth is for God’s kingdom.
You can notice where others may be at in their life, but don’t allow resentment, pettiness, or jealousy to have its way into your mind to divide your heart.
We need to live together in this life with others and especially within the body of Christ and in our special group of ladies ~ Women World Leaders.
May the enemy of our souls see us as God’s unbeatable army- together!
Individually,  let us be confident that God will use you in your own story and right where you are and right in this very moment. You have work to do; whether you are doing it with ease right now or extreme difficulty, we have work to do. Please have a willing heart despite the painful, difficult times you may or may not be in right now. YOU are part of God’s unbeatable army of women wherever you are this very minute!
“And Moses said to the people, ‘Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which He will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent.’” (Exodus 14:13,14) ESV
Whatever fight, whatever the fear, or whatever the calling you find yourself in today…
God sees it all; He goes before you.
He will lead you, and you will never be alone or need to feel thrown off track, my dear sister.
God be with you this very day, whatever the circumstances you are facing and whatever the need is you have. You are loved. You have a purpose. Press on! Please press on.
