As we travel this road of life, we soon discover that it will not be a smooth ride.
It seems so many struggle to find their own identity in life and at the same time feel the need to be everything to everyone.
We enjoy the smooth roads in life, but it is a SURE thing that up ahead, we will encounter stretches of road filled with trials. It is on these trying roads that we are refined, shaped & strengthened.
In a world filled with anxiety and fear how do we cope?
Where do we find comfort and calm?
We long for a rest area, an escape from our present journey.
You may feel there is NO place where you can run to escape the rough road, but there IS a person who can encourage you on.
- She is the genuine friend waiting to help in any way she can with words of encouragement and prayer.
- She is a confidant, she is a pillar for you, she is a genuine friend.
Where is she?
She is out there. Waiting to meet you.
She is a genuine sister in Christ.
The bible speaks so often of "certain women" who followed Christ and served. Together these women shared their thoughts and what they heard Him speak. They were devoted to each other as a sister in Christ - a special bond lasting for eternity.
So who is this genuine sister in Faith?
- She is your "encourager" along the road in life.
- She is a "genuine" friend and one who wants what Christ desires for you.
- She has given her life to Christ and seeks to encourage others as His servant.
- You hurt, she hurts.
- You are blessed, she is blessed.
- You have a need, she will try to fulfill it.
- You need prayer and comfort, she is there willingly.
- You are not on a list of names to call - your name is written in her heart.
- She does not wait for you to ask - she sees the need
- She understands your heart when you cannot find the words
- She is an eternal friend
How would I describe a sister in Christ?
|
She is a genuine friend for eternity as you are both a part of the family of God.
She is a spiritually mature woman who can offer support & prayer. She has a sincere desire to reach out to one who is hurting. She has the love of Jesus within and it shows. She is a listener, an encourager, a prayer warrior and can be trusted in confidence. She will tell you the truth, even when it may not be what you want to hear. She is always there for your, whether you live close by or at either ends of the world. She is always praying for you. |
Yes, we all need a genuine sister in Christ.
And... we all should desire to be one to someone else.

Before you move on to the BLOG... let me ask you "1" thing.
Are you His?
Are you a genuine woman of faith?
Uncertain?
Let's clear up that uncertainty.
Are you His?
Are you a genuine woman of faith?
Uncertain?
Let's clear up that uncertainty.
Forget about "religion." Religion is worthless.
It is about faith. . . faith in a personal relationship with Jesus.
God gives us all free will. With that comes the choice to accept Jesus into your life or reject Him. To do nothing, is to reject Him.
An Almighty God created us, and desires us to come to understand that Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice to wash us clean from our dirty sinful life.
Put your concerns, fears and uncertainty aside.
Let Jesus make you a new woman- your life will never be the same!
In genuine sincerity, you can pray something like this...
Jesus, I know that I am not the person
You desire me to be.
There is a lot in my past and mistakes I've made,
and I know my sin separates me from You.
I believe You can erase it all and give my life new meaning.
Here I am, allow me to begin again as Your child.
Mold me and shape me into the woman of faith
You desire me to be!
God does not promise health, wealth, or ease.
God has promised to transform us from the inside out.
HE is intensely interested in the person we are becoming.
Circumstances may not change, but our transformed heart will find hope & comfort.
Your eternal life has just begun!
Fear not, what may happen in life,
Christ is now your Comforter.
