I have such a heart for women to know who they are in Christ, to seek their identity in Him before anything else in this world. It is my hope that every woman knows the value and worth that was given to her. Being a daughter of Christ is such a wonderful thing and my prayer is that every woman whether single or married, every teenage girl, every child knows this deep down in her heart.
God keeps reminding me of this passion of mine every day.
Philippians 2:1-11
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
How would we relate differently to others if instead of seeking (demanding) that they encourage us, comfort us, and love us, instead we lived to encourage, comfort and love others because we already have Christ’s encouragement, comfort and love?
Our flesh objects, “That’s not fair. I’ll only give like that if the other person is willing to give the same amount!”
I’m eternally grateful that Christ did not think like that. If he had, then I’d still be dead in my sins, because he would not have chosen to die for my sins.

Come away with Me.
“Come away with Me, Come away with Me
it’s never too late, it’s not too late - it’s not too late for you
I have a plan for You, I have a plan for You
It’s gonna be wild, it’s gonna be great, it’s gonna be full of Me
Open up your heart and let Me in”
This song has been on repeat all week. I love the fact that my God has a plan for me that is full of Him. He doesn’t make us walk on our own. He plans it out for us accordingly to walk with Him. We just need to open up our hearts and let Him in.
"Every song you love, every memory you cherish, every moment that has moved you to holy tears has been given to you from the One who has been pursuing from your first breath in order to win your heart. God’s version of flowers and chocolates and candlelight dinners comes in the form of sunsets and falling stars, moonlight on lakes and cricket symphonies; warm wind, swaying trees, lush gardens and fierce devotion…This romancing is immensely personal. It will be as if it has been scripted for your heart. He knows what takes your breath away, what makes your heart beat faster…we must choose to open our hearts again so that we might hear His whispers, receive His kisses."
Restlessness and impatience change nothing except our peace and joy.
- Elisabeth Elliot
