Many of us desire to know God’s will for our lives and what we should be doing with our
lives. There are opportunities, dreams and desires in our hearts, however, we lack the
faith to bring these desires to fruition.
Whatever the holdup is in our life that prevents us from moving into our purpose, it will
require us to take a step of faith. I am reminded, faith without works is dead
(paraphrasing James 2:26).
In 2 Corinthians 5:7, it says, for we walk by faith, not by sight. This means we live
according to what God’s word tells us and not by what we see or think. As believers, we
must believe in our hearts and with everything that God’s word is true, and he has our
best in mind for us.
I have made many mistakes by not having the faith to follow what God is telling me. I
lacked faith at one time to apply for a certain job, and it simply passed me by. I prayed
and prayed, and finally God said you simply needed to act on my word. It takes faith to
move, that action was simply applied to the job. I did not apply out of fear, and it cost me.
Are you willing to take the risk and make the move to walk in your purpose? In Matthew
14:22 Peter desired to walk on the water like Jesus, and he did. It took a lot of faith and
courage to step out of the boat. Are you willing to step out of the boat of fear and lack of
faith?
I implore you to stop self-doubt, fear, unbelief, and lack of confidence and step out.
Move forward in strength and confidence, knowing that God has his best for you. God
desires us to live by faith. Philippians 4:13 says, All things are possible with Him!
Make that decision today to hear from God and let the holy spirit lead you in your
decisions. Step out on faith and let the wonderful future that God has for you come
alive.

As the winter chill settles in and festive decorations adorn our surroundings, we find ourselves immersed in the enchanting spirit of the season. Beyond the twinkling lights and cozy gatherings, there's a profound essence that defines this time of year – the Season of Giving. In the realm of women's empowerment, the significance of this season extends far beyond the exchange of material gifts; it embodies the spirit of compassion, solidarity, and uplifting one another.
Embracing Compassion:
The Season of Giving encourages us to look beyond ourselves and extend a helping hand to those in need. For women, this is an opportune moment to showcase the power of compassion and support. Empathy lies at the core of empowerment, and by reaching out to others, we strengthen the bonds that unite us. Whether it's supporting local women's shelters, mentoring aspiring professionals, or simply offering a listening ear, the act of giving becomes a catalyst for positive change.
Fostering Sisterhood:
In the spirit of women's empowerment, the Season of Giving becomes a celebration of sisterhood. It's a time to recognize the achievements of fellow women, acknowledge their struggles, and provide encouragement. Consider organizing events that promote networking and collaboration among women, creating a platform for shared experiences and collective growth. By fostering a sense of sisterhood, we build a resilient community that thrives on mutual support and empowerment.
Educational Empowerment:
The gift of education is a powerful tool for empowerment. This season, consider contributing to initiatives that promote education for women and girls. Whether it's supporting scholarship programs, donating to educational organizations, or volunteering your time as a mentor, investing in education is a direct investment in the empowerment of women. By providing access to knowledge and skills, we pave the way for women to break barriers and achieve their aspirations.
Philanthropy with Purpose:
As we indulge in the joy of giving, let's also be mindful of the impact our choices can have on the world. Choose to support businesses and brands that align with values of equality and empowerment. Consider engaging in philanthropic endeavors that directly contribute to women's causes, from healthcare initiatives to entrepreneurship programs. By making conscientious choices, we not only enrich the lives of individuals but also contribute to the broader goal of creating a more equitable and empowered world for women.
In the Season of Giving, let us embrace the true essence of empowerment by extending our hearts and hands to uplift one another. Whether through acts of kindness, educational support, or purposeful philanthropy, women have the power to make a lasting impact on the world around them. This season, let the spirit of giving become a beacon that illuminates the path toward a more empowered and compassionate future for all.
