Us Women

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 someoneof 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: MaryMagdalene,

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 wasdone 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.

Encourage and Love, Forgive and Forget, and Trus that

the woman that receives this will be touched in some way.

May peace and love be onto you.......
