With self esteem and confidence in question...
Some women folk are going through a test.
But ministry's not simply a man's priviledge...
For with Him, in Him, through Him we're all blessed!
Some feel they aren't liked and not accepted..
They've never been a social butterfly.
They've never been real comfortable with small talk...
But comfort's not on what one should rely.
Quit beating yourselves up about short comings...
Not smart enough...pretty enough... or so
The first resurrection witness was a woman...
But non perfect as the rest of us, you know.
.
I am chosen, I am cherished, I'm creative!
And, yes, , my dear sweet sisters, so are you!
I am pretty, I'm persuasive, I am personable!
And, of course, dear ladies, you are all that, too!
It's the devil's ugly job to try convincing
That we women folk simply don’t have the stuff.
The real truth is we really are unstoppable!
For in Christ Jesus we are much more than enough!
We are so much more than simply being pretty...
We have been fearfully and wonderfully made!
Persauded, won, and wooed by God's own Gospel...
So we can personally start working to persuade
A lost and dying world that it needs Jesus...
Needs releasing from the prison that its in!
Yes, every one of us the Lord has chosen
To direct a damaged soul away from sin.
More than liked, we are deeply loved and cherished...
Commisioned by our Father up above.
We have something that no other one can offer
And that, friends, is the heart of all His love.
So, womenhood, come on, let us assemble!
Stand upright, stand real tall, and stand real tough!
Let us rescue those poor souls Satan is tempting...
For in Christ Jesus we are much more than enough!

~~Author's Note~~
This is, in no way, to encourage self-satisfaction
because there is no satifaction outside of Christ...
but this is to encourage those who feel inadequate
to believe they can do all things through Christ.
There is neither Jew nor Greek,
there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28
And it came to pass afterward,
that he went throughout every city
and village, preaching and showing
the glad tidings of the kingdom of God:
and the twelve were with him And
certain women, which had been healed
of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called
Magdalene, out of whom went seven
devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s
steward, and Susanna, and many others,
which ministered unto him of their substance.
Luke 8:1-3
