Light Bearers: Empowered Women Reflecting Christ's Radiance
Mar 26, 2024
Dear Sisters in Christ,
In a world marred by uncertainty and darkness, our role as Christian women warriors of light has never been more vital. As we navigate through the complexities of life, we are called to be beacons of hope, faith, and love, shining forth the radiant light of Jesus Christ.
The words of Matthew 5:14-16 resonate deeply with our mission: "Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
In times of uncertainty, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the shadows that loom around us. Yet, we are reminded of the power and promise of seeking Jesus Christ. As we draw closer to Him, His light illuminates our path, dispelling the darkness that seeks to engulf us.
And we aren't the only ones who are stumbling in the dark. We have fellow friends, sisters and family members also trying to make their way in this darkening world. But the cool thing is as we hold up our candle of faith in Jesus Christ, it lights not only our feet, but it casts light so others can see as well.
Psalm 119:105 declares, "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path." Let us cling to the Word of God, allowing it to guide our steps and lead us toward the abundant life that Christ promises.
CS Lewis beautifully encapsulates this truth with his timeless words: "Look for Christ and you will find Him. And with Him, everything else." In our pursuit of Christ, we discover not only His presence but also the peace, joy, and fulfillment that can only be found in Him.
When the burdens of life weigh heavily upon us, let us turn to the Master Healer, Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 5:7 reassures us, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." He is our refuge, our strength, and our salvation.
Sisters, let us rise up in faith, knowing that we are empowered by the Holy Spirit to be ambassadors of Christ in a world that desperately needs His light. As we journey together as Christian women warriors of light, may our lives be a testament to the transformative power of God's love.
In closing, I leave you with the timeless words of Joshua 1:9, "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
With love and blessings,
Tamara
