Ladies of Godly Value, You are not a victim of your past, your feelings, or even your friend's story. You are a product of your faith, and what you choose to believe daily is shaping who you are becoming. “As a man thinks in his heart, so is he” (Proverbs 23:7). If you believe that love no longer exists, that all men cheat, or that your life cannot get better, then your life will begin to mirror those beliefs. But if you choose to believe what God says about you—His plans for peace, not evil, to give you a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11)—then your life will align with that truth.
It is dangerous to measure your life by someone else's experience. Your friend’s heartbreak, delay, or disappointment is not your prophecy. God never asked you to look at Sarah’s delay or Naomi’s bitterness as your script. He asked you to “look unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of your faith” (Hebrews 12:2). God has a customized story for your life that is not a duplicate of another’s pain. Stop rehearsing the experiences of others and start declaring the promises of God over your own life.
Faith begins when you accept God's Word as your final authority. Even if the facts around you are screaming "nothing good will happen," you must respond like Mary and say, “Be it unto me according to your word” (Luke 1:38). Dare to believe again. Dare to expect again. Dare to love again—not because your friend's relationship worked or failed, but because God is writing your own story with His love and wisdom.
So, dear daughter of Zion, what do you choose to believe today? Will you allow fear to be your narrator or let faith be your compass? Will you trust your wounds or God's Word? Choose wisely, for your belief is the womb that conceives your future. Hold fast to your identity in Christ, and you will not only survive—you will thrive.
