Psalms 139:14-17-18 TPT says, “I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex! Everything you do is marvelously breathtaking. It simply amazes me to think about it! How thoroughly you know me, Lord! You even formed every bone in my body when you created me in the secret place; carefully, skillfully you shaped me from nothing to something. You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I’d ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me were already recorded in your book. Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me”.
As the psalmist declared, “I thank you, God, for making me so mysteriously complex!” (Psalms 139:14-17-18 TPT). Indeed, women are fearfully and wonderfully made in God’s image, with unique gifts and talents that can be used to serve others and glorify God.
From Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the virtuous woman in Proverbs 31, women have played significant roles in God’s plan of salvation and have positively influenced their families and communities. Women must be compassionate, kind, humble, love sacrificially, submit to their husbands, and respect their leadership.
A woman’s value comes not solely from what they do but from who they are. They are valued for their character and inner beauty, faith and righteousness, discernment and wisdom, hospitality and kindness, leadership, and influence, for encouragement and comfort of others.
So, to every Christian woman reading this blog, remember that you are very special to God, unique in every way, and have a great plan for you. Do not let anyone look down on you or make you feel less than you are. You are of great value and have been created for a purpose. Embrace your identity as a daughter of God and use your talents and abilities to serve others and spread the gospel.
