On Mother's Day, Dusty and I spoke about the unique battle satan fights against women, the necessity for us to see the lies he tells us and the fact that our hearts are needed in battle. God has called us. It's time to stand and fight.
But it can't end in a weekend talk. We need to take it farther - to encourage one another, to stand together in the battle, to be sisters in truth. Reading the heart of other women inspires me to keep on, to be in the Bible, to trust God. That's what we want to do here. We're going to try to post weekly, and you can submit your comments or questions privately if you desire.
I won't be the only one posting, and, in that, I hope you'll be engaged by the stories and hope of other ladies. For today, though, I want to leave you with these thoughts...
God did not create you to walk in lies. Whether lies are based in pride or shame, they are not of God, and He is calling you to shake free of their trance to walk in His strength and victory. Some of you received this question from me, but I'll ask it again... what is your lie? And if you now know... what are you doing about it?
Stepping into the light:
It's tough, sometimes, to be vulnerable, but if we keep things hidden, they keep their power over us. Bring your lie into the light. If you haven't already, confess it to God. Ask His forgiveness for letting it keep you from being all He's called you to be and ask Him to help you walk toward freedom from it - "to guide you into all truth." If you can, share the lie with someone else - someone who can encourage you in truth.
