babeimgonnaleaveu: Batman Returns (1992) dir. Tim Burton A PSA to my Sisters in Christ: you are NOT defined by your marital status. I don’t know what it’s like in the denominations of my blog followers—but the women in our area tend to be married off and having children by 25, many married by 21 or 22 years old.Needless to say, that can be an enormous amount of pressure to young Christian women, who are often measured by their abilities to be godly wives and mothers. Not to mention, as their friends and peers of the church find husbands, single women increasingly find themselves losing friendships, feeling pressure from the community and family, and grappling with their own desire to find a partner. But let me be clear on this “So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.” Philippians 2:1-4This is your mission, this is how you are to be “defined”—to be Christlike in all you do, giving all glory to God. I understand what it’s like to feel as if there is so much love, affection and compassion in my heart, yet feeling as if there is no one to share it with.Philippians 2 tells you exactly where to pour out all the love and compassion you store in your heart. As for your future, let God orchestrate that path. Just focus on being daughters of the Lord.How beautiful, how strong, how perfectly knit together you are, sister in Christ! I bid you all a very fulfilling Lord’s Day, rich in God’s love and grace, as you worship today.Conclusion of PSA -- source link
