My theme for Women's Conference this year is Becoming the Wonderful Woman You Are. It is often because we do not know who we are in Christ Jesus, that we allow others and especially the devil to make us feel unworthy and useless.
When we realize that God has placed us in His family by the New Birth, than we realize that we are somebody. As I am fond of saying, you don't get any bigger than a Child of God. When we discover that God has a wonderful plan for our life, and that He spends as long as necessary to prepare us for that plan, we feel the satisfaction that only God can give. I have always known the gifts God had given me, and that He wanted to use those gifts for His glory, but I have not always felt good about myself. Now, because I realize my position in Christ, I feel good about me. I like who I am. I don't have to be anything like anyone else in this world. In my case, I have probably spent a lifetime in being different. God loves variety, and He certainly has it! There are gifts that I do not have, and there are plenty of people that can play, sing, and write music better than me, but no one can do it just like me. Apparently, God wanted someone that would be just like me. And He feels the same way about you. We are not to compare ourselves to each other. I may not measure up to what Christ would want in my life, but He is continually working on me, and He doesn't give up on me. Thank God, He doesn't! So remember, ladies, when life has just about given you all you can take, God only made one woman like you, because He wanted someone just like you. Most of all, remember He has a wonderful plan for your life.
