Be Encouraged....



> 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 not at whom
> made you do it. She has
> to just look at herself in all her glory and
> imperfection.
>

> 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 flow,
> 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 and Naomi.
