Oftentimes God shows up in the flesh; but, we miss Him by
our own impaired vision. At other times,
His countenance is so bright that we could not escape it even if we wanted to. So, today, I am grateful for the evidence of
his powerful, yet nurturing presence in Women! I’ve witnessed His love poured
out unto the world by many women of greatness, like to Mother Theresa, Rosa
Parks, Oprah Winfrey, Michelle Obama, and Hillary Clinton (only to name a
few).
These women along with so many unsung “Sheroes” shed their
light upon the world through their acts of courage, purpose, grit, and
determination. They exemplify the very
essence of love for people, for community, for family, for themselves. They’ve sacrificed their lives, careers,
reputation, and self in order that others may become healed, whole, and
complete through their examples of service. You may asked, “How did Oprah or
Hillary Clinton sacrifice their careers?”
Well, anytime you go against status quo, you put your job, popularity, and
following on the line. A woman of love
and greatness will lay down her position to live her purpose. That’s sacrifice.
The real beauty here is that when we recognize these
attributes in others, it is easy to recognize them in ourselves. We too possess this Spirit of True Love,
which is unconditional and longs to emerge and be seen, shared, and given to
the world. We too have purpose in our
bellies waiting to be birthed. We too
have courage to overcome the challenges and fears which often block our
actions. We too are light in a dark and
dying world. We possess the Spirit of
Woman, the Spirit of Greatness, and the Spirit of God.
Let us walk in Spirit today. Let us place our lights on a
lamp stand. Let us recognize and call
out the greatness in other women, who may not otherwise receive
recognition. Let us show love and be
love, today! My prayer for women today,
is that all hard-heartedness will be removed so that she may live in the
freedom of vulnerability, love, and greatness!
