Who am I

Who am I? As I have been pondering this question, God keeps whispering to me, “Sister.” I am your sister in Christ. God has given me a heart to come along side ladies and remind them that they are not alone in their walk with Him thru this broken world. Just like you, I’m a daughter of the one true God, in need of mercy and grace. Each relationship is unique because each person is unique. But love and acceptance within the Family should be a given.

Most of my life, it seemed I was on a search for a best friend, a kindred spirit, a girlfriend that would accept me for me. I have a best friend now. It took about 40 years for God to bring us together but I’m so glad He did. We are sisters in Christ.

The truth is we don’t need more “friends”. We need our sisters. We need to treat our sisters in Christ as BLOOD SISTERS... because that’s what we are...by Christ’s blood...Wow! What a different perspective on evangelism! We need more sisters!

This broken world is a broken home. Each person in it is in need of forgiveness for restoration to eternal life. God wants to adopt them into His forever family. As children of God, we should see the lost as prospective brothers and sisters ... as if we are visiting an orphanage with our Dad ... regardless of age ... because our Dad doesn’t care how old His children are when He adopts them.

My Harmonizer is low enough that boundaries should not be an issue, but I’m sure the Spirit will help me to keep an eye on that. I know that in every relationship, siblings included, healthy boundaries are necessary.

It doesn’t matter how well we know each other or how long we’ve known each other. What matters is that we have the same Daddy!

Because I am your sister...

• I am here for you

• I will love & accept you

• I will tell you hard truths

• I will teach you & learn from you

• I will apologize to you & forgive you

• I will laugh with you & cry with you

• I will defend you... & tell on you to Dad

• I will do what I can to bless you... especially if Dad tells me to do it...& I will gratefully receive the blessing that you are to me.

Father,

I know I will never be the perfect sister but that’s ok because the role of perfect sibling is already taken and I will never be able to fill His shoes... if I could, Jesus would never have needed to die on the cross for me. Thank you for grace and mercy! Help me to be the sister she needs me to be in the moment. Love her through me. I want to point my sister to You, because You love us PERFECTLY. May I be Your physical representative, the arms around her when she needs to feel Your hug. Help me to love well. Love well thru me. I want to abide in You... that Your love, kindness, peace, patience, goodness, gentleness, self-control would be ever present in me. Help me be a good sister.
