As a woman who has been ransomed and redeemed, you can be strong and tender. You speak to the world of God's mercy, mystery, beauty and His desire for intimate relationship. You are inviting; you can risk being vulnerable, offering the weght of you life as well as your need for more because you are safe in God's love. You labour with God to bring forth life - in creativity, in work, in others. Your aching, awakened heart leads you to the feet of Jesus, where you wait on Him and wait for Him. The eyes of His heart are ever upon you. The King is captivated by you beauty.
We need you. We need you to awaken to God more fully and to awaken to the desires of the heart that he placed within you so that you will come alive to Him and to the role that is yours to play. Perhaps you are meant to be a concert musician or a teacher. Perhaps you are meant to be a neurologist or a horse trainer. Perhaps you are to be a activist for ecology or the poor or the aged or the ill. Yo are certainly called to be a woman, wherever else He leads you.
And that is crucial, dear heart. Whatever your particular calling, you are meant to the grace the world with your dance, to follow the lead of Jesus wherever He leads you. He will lead you first into Himself; and then with Him, He will lead you into the world that He loves and needs you to love.
It is by Invitation.
