Dynamic Women

From Faith It Devotion

“Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God.”

2 CORINTHIANS 3:5
Being a woman is hard, but working to be the woman of God you think you should be is even harder. It’s not easy being everything for everyone, yet still feeling like you’re not enough.

Dear Woman, if you feel this way, please take a deep breath and listen. This is what God would say to you today.

Stop seeking self-improvement, and instead seek my face. Remember that My strength is in your weakness, that you have been made perfect in Me, that I am in you, and you are in Me.

You are what I say you are, and you are enough. You can rest in My perfect peace, knowing the plans I have for you, plans for a wonderful future.

Stop fighting battles I have already won. Stop waging war on yourself. Stop planning to do better, and simply follow my path I have laid out for you.

Stop working on being a better woman of God, and focus on residing in me. I am your safe place.

Stop trying to be everything, and rest in the fact that I already am. In Me you have fullness of life. In Me, you are already enough.

Dear God, please help me to rest in the identity you gave me as a daughter of the one true King. Help me to know that in your eyes, who I am is enough--now, forever and always. In Jesus’ name, amen

From The Passion Translation Devotion

I Hear His Whisper . . .
You are radiant.

I am the One who has formed you and defined you. Others stare at your weaknesses and faults, but I gaze upon your beauty. Twice, I have perfected you—once in your mother’s womb and once when you came to know me. You are twice purified in my eyes, for you are mine.

When you surrender to me, you no longer guide your life, but I, the Good Shepherd, am the One who leads you. I have served you my grace, even as you have yielded to me your heart. As you pray, your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely in my eyes. I want you to see yourself the way I see you—holy, powerful, and radiant. I desire only the best for you. I lead you on paths that will not cause you to stumble, as long as you hold my hand. I want you to believe that you are exactly who I say you are—full of destiny, a perfect partner for me. Never hesitate to give me the desires of your heart. I will bring them to pass.

My darling,
you are so lovely!
You are beauty itself to me.
Your passionate eyes are like gentle doves
