Society continually presents images and messages that shape how women view themselves, often influencing their sense of worth and identity. These pressures can promote harmful ideas and behaviors, leading some to live with a distorted understanding of who they truly are.

Today, we are reminded and encouraged that our worth, confidence, and value are found in Christ alone, just as God intended. We gain a true and accurate view of ourselves when we look to Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, Hebrews 12:2.

When feelings of worthlessness arise, or when you are tempted to criticize yourself, remember that you are God’s intentional design. He thinks of you constantly. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalm 139:14, and your identity is secure in Christ, Galatians 2:20.

Whether we acknowledge it or not, everyone has habits, but only a few intentionally craft the first part of their day with Jesus. Many people are satisfied with their destination, yet they neglect to enjoy the journey by using the first part of the day wisely.

In Scripture, Jesus took time to pray and to spend time with His Father. Finding that time may not always be easy, but our prayer life and Bible study are vital connections between us and God. Like Jesus, we must make time to be alone with God, even if that means getting up before daybreak.

In today’s podcast, we will learn why spending the first part of our day with Jesus is so important and how being in God’s presence daily helps us handle life’s challenges more easily. Just as the life of a deer depends on water (Psalm 42:1), our lives depend on God. Those who seek Him and long to understand Him find never ending life.

Get ready, ladies, to rise!

As fallen people living in a fallen world, we fail to understand we mishear, misspeak, misunderstand or we are not available when others need us. The result is often hurt, hurt that must be acknowledge and we must seek to forgive.

Today’s episode will teach us that forgiveness is a lifelong event. We cannot just say, “I forgive you” once and move on. To walk in an attitude of mercy, to forgive over and over again each day when we are tempted to be bitter, these acts of faith and obedience keep us anchored in God’s love because our conflicts constantly remind us of how much we need His grace. When we make it our goal to forgive we live like Christ. The wonderful result is that we bear witness to Jesus and proclaim to a watching world that God loves you and sent His Son to die for us (John 17:23).

Get ready Christian Women to Rise in forgiveness!
