Women living in Freedom.




Today I attended a ladies meeting at church and I was just so blessed to be surrounded by other women and hearing women and their stories as well as their struggles, challenges and strengths.

I realised just how much women need to be in relationship with each other, instead of judging one another or competing with each other, we were made to love and we should be pouring out God's love on each other.

It is true that as women we tend to put our best foot forward, we want to create an impression that e have everything together, as if we are doing well and are not struggling with anything.  The truth however is that every single one of us as one thing or another that we are struggling with. nobody as a perfect life, we all need each other, we all need help with one thing or another and it is only when we are vulnerable with the problems that we are experiencing will we be able to get freedom.





One thing I have realised is that until we let it out, ask for help, cry out for somebody to rescue you, speak to someone about your struggles, it is only then that we find relief, freedom and we overcome.

So often the devil uses women against women, we are our own worst enemies, the devil uses people who will judge you to prevent you from seeking freedom. We are then isolated and left to struggle and drown in the very thing that we need relief from if only we would talk to someone about it.


There are always people willing to listen, people who have walked through what you are struggling with and have overcome it, people willing to give you advise, to hold your hand, to cry with you...you would be surprised that maybe there is someone who as had victory over the exact same thing that you are struggling with if only you would open up to someone.






Now I know that sometimes it can be a bit difficult because as I said some ladies tend to be a bit judgmental and I also know that as a lady sometimes we do not want to show our weakness out of fear that it may be used against us but the reality is that it is better to be free because it is only in freedom that we are able to live an abundant and fulfilled life, it is only in freedom that we are able to prosper and live our full potential.


So ladies what ever it is that you may be struggling with whether in your life, your relationships, careers, families, whatever it may be, god wants to set you free. Sometimes it is not enough to just pray about it and try to overcome it by ourselves. Ladies we need each other, find someone that you trust, someone who you can confide in, someone you can open up to. Ask God for the spirit of discernment because it is true that we cannot trust everybody.

I was so blessed and challenged to see women being vulnerable with each other today and just opening up and letting God work in us. It is only when we open up and invite God that he will do a Really good thing in us.

God is a gentleman, he doesn't just force his way in, he wants to be invited in, he wants you to want him to set you free, to let you go so that you can live free as God intended.




As women we need to support each other, listen to each other and encourage each other... Too often women are too concerned about what they don't have and the other person as. Living in freedom means that you are thankful what what you have and trust God for what you don't have.

We don't need to compare ourselves to others because we are all special and loved by God....When we realise the depth of God's love, nothing else seems to matter...except living in God's love and freedom.

Life is not meant to be walked alone. God loves us and he wants to set us free and do a good thing in us. Open up and God will meet with you, you will encounter him, God always shows up....Thank You Jesus.


God wants to pour out his love, Receive it....Women need deep and meaningful relationships with each other...






Blessings
