Church Girl Re-Defined

I came across this radio show through twitter and I'm still not sure what the main topic is but they are talking a lot about relationships between women of God and there are 4 different women sharing different info..

Iron sharpens iron, BUT it does not cut. 
Be vulnerable with other women and be a safe place for them

What does a woman of God look like? She reflects God. 
Self-less, not selfish. New mercy every day. The same way God treats us, we treat our friends the same way. Commit. 
Philippians - learn to love appropriately - use your head and test your feelings so your love is intelligent, not sentimental gush. Love even when it is not easy to love! 

We all have a reflection - you will either see it in the Word, or the world. 
It's one thing to make a mistake, it's another thing to live it!


Be accountable - for your actions. Hold your sisters accountable. 
You are not above the bible - be open to accountability. How else can you get better?

Love must be intentional - pray about it and practice everyday the fruits of the spirit. 

Remove the masks with your girls! This is the key to liberation. We are all an ex-something yall. 

Practice forgiveness. As a woman of God you HAVE to make it a priority. 

Fear makes us make bad decisions - the only way to find security and hope is through walking with God daily. Find your GODfidence.
 Allow people to be flawed, and love them anyway. 
When our hearts are connected to God we see people through his filter, not ours. 

Genesis 1:26-27 - We are created to rule and reign WHEREVER we are placed - home, marketplace, school... 
Becoming like Christ only happens by FIRE. To burn away all these things we've absorbed between being born and being re-born. Humble yourself.. you WILL suffer... Becoming like Christ is a process of sanctification. God doesn't break us down, He breaks us open. 
This is why sisterhood is important. As we are breaking open we have accountability and support. We come together in unity, and in that place we become a force to be reckoned with.

We wrongly equate joy and circumstance. Our faith is theoretical at times. Joy through theoretical faith is easy. When you have food and shelter, it's easy to have faith that you'll have it tomorrow. Can you have practical faith? Joy is a fruit of the Spirit - don't confuse it with happiness, which is fleeting!
  
As sisters we have to be in accord(ance) with one another  - show each other love! Commit to having deep relationships with your sisters. But it starts with loving yourself, then you can see your sisters as an extension of yourself. Your purpose is to be a blessing to others.

Healthy sisterhood is possible, and it does happen, all the time, and when it occurs - it is powerful.
