Truth be told, we all have struggles. The women of the Bible struggled with some of the same things we do. Our struggles are not new to God... Eve gave in to temptation, Sarah wanted a child so bad she told her husband to sleep with her maid, Esther was an orphan, Ruth lost her husband, homeland and family, the list goes on...
Yesterday I read these words from my devotional, Women of the Bible...
"God has blessings uniquely designed for each of us... God doesn't wait until we are perfect to involve us in his plans."
Each one of the ladies listed above was used to glorify God despite their situation. God promised Eve her offspring would one day crush the serpent, Sarah eventually gave birth and a new nation was born who belonged to God like no other people had, Esther had great courage and God used her to spare the Jews, Ruth was loyal to her mother-in-law and God provided a for her a husband and new family. Ruth was the great grandmother of King David and is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus.
No matter where you are in life, God has chosen you. He has chosen you to be a mom, sister, daughter, wife or friend; He has chosen you. I sat humbled before God reflecting on what I read. I am not perfect and yet God still has blessings planned for me. Not just any blessings, but ones uniquely designed for me.
Don't give up on God. He will never give you on you.
