Although Jesus said He came to give us abundant life, sometimes we can find ourselves a prisoner of past pain.  When we allow ourselves to become self-focused, we can lose sight of the Healer, and instead, fall into feelings of shame.

We’re studying the fruit of the Spirit and Biblical Womanhood at MomStrong International. This is something that is near and dear to my heart and I know that a lot of you have been struggling with this idea of male and female, because frankly we have messed it up—we’ve messed it up in the culture.

The Bible teaches us that we were born with an innate need for God. We are born into this world with an innate need to find our purpose. And here’s the thing—tied to purpose and belonging, is our worth as human beings. So if we don’t know where our worth comes from, we can never truly feel like we belong.
