โBut Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my Godโ Ruth 1:16, NIV.
As Christian women, we have a tremendous opportunity to impact the lives of those women around us; with love, support, encouragement, words of wisdom and compassion. To have a true love for sisterhood is a beautiful thing. Unfortunately nowadays, there is so much envy, competition and jealousy that we don’t find the freedom to be who we are with those around us.
There is something to be said about women helping women. It speaks volumes when we are like-minded, when we deeply understand each others joys and challenges within our unique lifestyles, when we are truly full of joy with our sister’s achievements in Christ, and when we celebrate each other and take pride in being a part of that growth.
It glorifies God when we are women who are there as accountability partners, understanding that you may have flaws but loving you anyway; understanding that you will fall many times but holding you up anyway; understanding that you’re not perfect but seeing you through the perfect eyes of Christ anyway! It pleases Him when we are women who pray fervently for you just as we would desire for someone to pray for us, when we don’t judge or criticize, but correct in love when needed, and women who push you towards your destiny with words of hope and courage.
As Christian women, we must return to this quality kind of sisterhood, and we must do it for the Lord’s name.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of sisterhood. Thank You for those women that surround me. I pray that I am able to offer them the type of friendship that pleases You; a friendship like the one of Jonathan and David and like the one of Ruth and Naomi. I pray that You always help me lead by example and I pray that I am able, through You, to impact the lives of those around me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.

This is a right on time message, and I especially needed to be reminded that we urge and encourage one another to our God-written destiny. Thanks for this post.
Father, thank you for the power that’s in sisterhood.
Thanks for this message is for me, so many of us today don’t have time to encourage each of other but i pray one day God will unite us together in good time or bad times. Thanks sweetie for opening my eyes today. God bless you pastor
Thank you for this word today, we need more sisterhood instead of so much jealously and envy. Thank you again for this word. In Jesus Name Amen.
Women of God united in sisterhood cannot be defeated.
My sister’s in Christ may you have a blessed day diane
Dear Evelyn Suarez,
Thank you for your words today. I have a sister and a dear friend, neither of whom are willing to accept our Lord (yet!). Your words give me encouragement and hope to continue to lead by example and pray that they will one day see the light that is our Savior and accept Him and his Truth.
We as Sister’s have to continue to be obedient; walking in LOVE so that the plan of God for the “Women of God” can be reverenced and honored, as did Ruth leaving an everlasting legacy! To God be the glory!
It’s nice to hear that women are willing to pray for each other,in order to bring unity. That power.
