Noa. | the bridesmaids

Your identity is found in Christ and Christ alone. How people treat you is not who you are. The negative words you say to yourself are not who you are. Isaiah 43:1 says "But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine." and 1 Peter 2:9 "But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellenc

Every day is a fresh start. His Mercies are new every morning, so stop living in the past and holding onto the sins God has already forgiven you for. He has forgiven you and removed your failings from as far as the east is from the west (Psalm 103.12) Look at the woman at the well, the woman at Jesus's feet and the woman who had an issue of blood. He has made you well. The new has come and the old has passed away. Don't think about the former things. As Jesus said in Matthew

Woman of God, you are a daughter of a King. Do not let a man treat you anyhow. The man God has for you is supposed to love you like Christ loved the church. Do not settle for anything less than that which God has for you out of impatience or anxiety for the future. Protect your purity and mind.

Woman of God, you are not too behind or late. God has Your whole life in His hands and knows your end from the beginning. He can do more than you can ever ask or imagine. All He has for you is good. Hold onto this truth.

Your gentleness and care is a God given trait to be acknowledged. Do not let the fast paced rush of life take this away from you or harden you. A gentle and quiet spirit is beautiful in God’s sight.

Remember to walk in the freedom Christ has given you today. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. But God! Isn’t he so good to forgive as far as the east to the west and wipe our transgressions away? Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom 🕊️

Welcome to Noa. | the bridesmaids. The 'bridesmaid' posts are inspired by the five wise virgins who took enough oil with them to meet Jesus the bridegroom. Using this as inspiration, every Friday (or as many Fridays as possible) Noa will be sharing pockets of wisdom to keep our lamps burning till Jesus comes again. For we know not the day or the hour... (Matthew 25:13)
