A SIGNIFICANT WOMAN

- an excerpt from the book "The 10 Best Decisions a Woman Can Make" by Pam Farrel

A significant woman bases her identity on who God says she is, and she is committed to do nothing more and nothing less than what her identity demands. In other words, as I line up my thoughts to God's thoughts about me, I will become a woman He can use. When I see myself through His eyes, I realize my value. I am nothing more than a woman saved by His grace, but I am nothing less than a new creation.
When I see myself through God's eyes, I realize His plan for me is found only in obedience. I am nothing more than a servant and am nothing less than an ambassador. I'm not the ,aster, so I don't make up the rules. There is one God, and it's not me! All that He requires from a servant is obedience-there is nothing more I can add. Being an ambassador opens up opportunities. The more God can trust me, the more He will entrust to me. So anything less than obedience means I risk missing out on precious pieces of His plan for me.
When I see myself through God's eyes, I realize my calling and that He has a unique place for me. If I am driven to do more than my calling, then I'm not being the me God designed. If I am so busy trying to be someone else, then who is being me? If in fear I do less than my calling, I miss out on the adventure of being me. Nothing more and nothing less will gain God's applause for me. Decide to make the decision: God, I will be whom You created me to be. Nothing more, nothing less, than being the best possible unique me! I am deciding to line my life up with Your view of me. I choose a connection with You so I can connect to what You have for me.
Today, decide that you will decide. Don't let life happen-make life happen! Decisions move you forward by a series of wise choices. Decide to choose. Victorian novelist George Eliot wad ahead of her time when she wrote, "It is never too late to be what you might have been." Decide to be different. Decide to make things different.
