Dynamic Women

Something to think about.

From Faith It Devotion


“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.”
2 CORINTHIANS 3:5
Being a woman is hard, but working to be the woman of God you think you should be is even harder. It’s not easy being everything for everyone, yet still feeling like you’re not enough.

Dear Woman, if you feel this way, please take a deep breath and listen. This is what God would say to you today.

Stop seeking self-improvement, and instead seek my face. Remember that My strength is in your weakness, that you have been made perfect in Me, that I am in you, and you are in Me.

You are what I say you are, and you are enough. You can rest in My perfect peace, knowing the plans I have for you, plans for a wonderful future.

Stop fighting battles I have already won. Stop waging war on yourself. Stop planning to do better, and simply follow my path I have laid out for you.

Stop working on being a better woman of God, and focus on residing in me. I am your safe place.

Stop trying to be everything, and rest in the fact that I already am. In Me you have fullness of life. In Me, you are already enough.

Dear God, please help me to rest in the identity you gave me as a daughter of the one true King. Help me to know that in your eyes, who I am is enough--now, forever and always. In Jesus’ name, amen.

I Hear His Whisper...
I feel your pain.

My precious child, you are not alone in this pain. I am here, not only to bind your broken heart, but also to carry you in your grief. I not only understand your suffering, but also share your pain. I feel it too. I am affected by the agony of those I love.

There is a difference, though. I do not dwell on pain. It has no power over me, and I am teaching you to not allow it to have power over you. If you will give me your brokenness, I will take it from you. Place it now in my hands that were pierced for you. Leave it here with me, and I will lighten your load. In exchange, I will pour out my healing balm. It is time to find me in the midst of your anguish. It is time to rest in my arms so I can breathe hope and life into you again. It is okay to feel pain, but now I want you to give it to me. It’s time to smile again. It’s time to let me heal your heart.

Psalm 22:24
The Passion Translation

He has not despised my cries of deep despair. He’s my first responder to my sufferings, and when I was in pain, he was there all the time and heard the cries of the afflicted.
