What Women Do for One Another

God uses women in the body of Christ to minister to other women–to love, affirm and encourage one another. Those are precious relationships.  God gives us a beautiful picture of this in Scripture in the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist.

Both of these moms-to-be were carrying a child whose divine purpose had been revealed by an angel–a unique experience, to say the least.  Being in somewhat similar circumstances, they understood and affirmed what the other was experiencing.  They rejoiced in God together and strengthened one another.  The time they spent together was a gift from God, who knew a woman’s need to share with another woman.

That’s what women do for each other. We support one another and help each other become better, godlier women.  That’s why we need to connect with one another.  God may surprise you with the gift of another woman with whom you can share your heart and receive support and encouragement.  It is what women’s ministry is all about.
