The Truth About Women's Empowerment
Some tell me that I should support the killing of innocent babies to be an empowered woman. I say that I am empowered when I fight to protect them.
Some tell me that I should support strict gun control laws to be an empowered woman. I say that I am empowered for learning to shoot, purchasing my own pistols, and carrying them to protect myself, my family, and others.
Some tell me that I have to vote for a women to be an empowered woman. I say that I am empowered when I vote for the person who will protect my liberties even if the best person for that job is a man.
Some tell me that I have to support cultural changes that are contrary to Biblical teachings to be an empowered woman. I say that I am empowered when I stand firm, sometimes alone, on the inerrant truth of God's Word.
Some told me that to be an empowered woman, I should have put my career first so that my family could have grown up with much more than we gave them. I say that I was empowered when I chose what was best for my family even if it meant earning less. If you are someone who was able to build a career while you were raising your family, then you are empowered too because the world will often tell you that you can't do both.
Some tell me that to be an empowered woman, I should reject Christianity because Christianity oppresses women. I say that I was empowered when I chose salvation through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives within me. The Bible tells me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. The Bible teaches the value of women. After all, God created women because He saw that it was not good for man to be alone. Christianity teaches the precious value of women.
Today, the most empowering thing I do as a woman is this . . .
I feel most empowered when I pray because the One to whom I pray is the One who holds all of Heaven, Earth, and time in His just but also loving and unfailing hands.
Women friends, don't let anyone tell you that you have to fit a popular worldly agenda to be empowered. You are empowered when you think for yourself with the mind that God gave you.
