Courageous Woman - Not 'what' you are but 'who' you are

As women, our identities are so often caught up in whatever life situation we find ourselves in. We tend to think in terms of “what are we?” and not “who are we?” Whether it’s being mom, wife, our job, position at church, our past, these things so often dictate what we think our life is to be.  However, before we held any of these titles, we were women. We were created by God, to do His will and for His pleasure.  The question we need to ask ourselves is not WHAT are we, but WHO are we?

In todays media culture women are often portrayed as objects, some good looking guys latest conquest. However, Gods word says we are individuals, carefully made and put together by His own hands. Women are seen as abused and victimized, God says we are precious and  cared for. Many times we are 'not heard' but God says we are known and loved. 

Whatever you are called to do at this point in  your life, whether it be wife, mom, career woman, business woman or all of the above do it to the best of your abilities. That being said you cannot hide behind the positions that you hold. You have a calling beyond the duties of life.

Do not settle for what the world offers or says is best for you as woman.  Believe the things God says about you in His word.
