Sisters, our world needs godly women more than ever.
In a culture that is broken, confused, and constantly chasing after shallow definitions of worth, women who know their true identity in Christ are desperately needed. Our marriages, families, and communities are crying out for women who will rise up, not in pride or competition but in service, strength, and godly character.
Working hard, earning a paycheck, caring for children, and putting meals on the table are all important and necessary. But let’s be honest: those things are only the beginning. They don’t define the fullness of what it means to be a woman. Some of us work outside the home because we must. Others choose to stay home, homeschool, or focus on different callings. None of these choices make one woman greater or lesser than another. These things alone do not prove our worth, and they certainly don’t give us reason to flaunt “feminism” as if independence or competing with men is the ultimate goal. That mindset only reveals insecurity and a misunderstanding of our true value.
Being a woman is far deeper than what the world portrays. It means serving and leading well in the role God has entrusted to you. If you are married, it means standing faithfully by your husband’s side through every season. Some call it submission, but truly it is about trust. Trusting the man God has placed to cover and lead you. After God, his voice should be the one you honor and listen to first. Stand with him in prayer, in communication, and in the daily battles of life. If he fails to lead well, it is your responsibility to address it with respect, privacy, and love.
If you are unmarried, this still applies to you. Being a woman is not defined by marriage or motherhood alone; it is defined by character. It means learning how to serve with humility, to lead with grace, and to walk in loyalty, integrity, and strength. It means covering your life in prayer and allowing God to shape you into the woman He has called you to be, so that whether you remain single or one day become a wife and mother, you are already rooted in Him.
To be a woman means to live a life of sacrifice, even to the point of laying down your own comfort for the good of others. It means knowing when to teach and when to listen. It means walking in godly character that blesses your family, friends, church, and community.
Above all, being a woman means covering yourself and those around you with the presence of God. He alone.. not you, not even your husband is the ultimate source of provision, protection, and life itself.
You will stumble. You will say things you regret. But when you do, make it right. Forgive quickly. Move forward with grace. Those who depend on you need to see your perseverance more than your perfection.
So whether you work outside the home or within it, whether you homeschool or send your children to school, whether you are single or married, serve faithfully. Serve your children if you have them. Serve your husband if you are married. Serve those around you always.
Now more than ever, the world is desperate for godly women; who stand for truth, live in love, and lead with strength and humility. Women who refuse to be shaped by culture but instead shape culture through their faith.
Sisters, our time is now. Be that woman.
“Strength and dignity are her clothing, and she laughs at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: ‘Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.’ Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” Proverbs 31:25–31
“Where faith and hope meet”
Nothing but Encouragement
