Not Your Ordinary Girl

4/28/2025

 
by Sarah H.
from Virtuous Daughters, January 2006~Volume 5, Number 10

What if as a baby your doctor made a mistake that resulted in personal blindness?
What would you have thought? Was the doctor not educated? Negligent? Careless? How could something this tragic befall you? Would you be mad at the doctor, your parents, or even God? This “what if” was a reality for a person named Fanny Crosby. How would she handle this calamity? “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness . . . For when I am weak, then am I strong.”--2 Corinthians 12:9–10

Holding the Rope

4/21/2025

from Virtuous Daughters, July 2013~Volume 13, Number 4

When William Carey, known as “The Father of Modern Missions,” left for India, one of his friends observed that his departure could be likened to someone being lowered into a deep, unexplored mine. For someone to be safely sent into the mine and enabled to begin mining for souls, others were needed to “hold the ropes” that lowered him down into it. As William Carey and his friends stood at the brink of decisions, considering this venture into India, William volunteered to go—if his friends would faithfully support him as he went. His mission would not be successful if they did not do their parts in “holding the ropes.” Though missionaries ultimately depend on God for their every need, we can be the human instruments that God uses to support and help them in their endeavors. Here are some practical ways that we can do this:

Remember

4/14/2025

 
by Julia
from Virtuous Daughters, August/September 2020~Volume 20, Number 3
How often does God answer a specific prayer and you rejoice over it? Maybe your excitement bubbles into a desire to tell everyone you know of the amazing work of God in your life by answering that prayer. How many times have you faced something big and suddenly your faith-o-meter plummets?
 
“This is impossible,” you may think.... Of course, we know God will never fail us, but even if we do not directly admit it to ourselves, our thought patterns can reflect this false belief. It is easy to grow discouraged. What can we do to avoid this pitfall? Remember.

Many of the points outlined in this article were gleaned from a sermon by my pastor titled "Render Surrender."

The Journey of Surrender

2/24/2025

 
by Jennifer S.
from Virtuous Daughters, February 2016~Volume 15, Number 11

The secret of life
Is letting go.
The secret of love
Is letting it show
In all that I do,
In all that I say,
Right here in this moment.
 
The power of prayer
Is in a humble cry.
The power of change
Is in [yielding] my life
And laying it down,
Down at Your feet,
Right here in this moment.
 
This songwriter beautifully, truthfully captures the secret to Christian living. It applies to all of us across the spectrum of life—young and old, women and men, followers and leaders, daughters, mothers, sisters, wives. Amy Carmichael puts it this way:
 
But all through life I see a cross,
Where sons of God yield up their breath.
There is no gain except by loss;
There is no life except by death.
 
What does surrender to God ultimately mean? What concepts does it carry into our lives as we seek to walk it every day? It’s helpful to lay groundwork at the start of our discussion. Please muse with me for a moment. Read slowly and ponder.

Satisfaction ~ Giving Thanks

by Tiffany S.
from Virtuous Daughters, April 2013~Volume 13, Number 1

I was sorting some paperwork and ran across my sermon notes from a series of messages preached by my pastor about “Five Crossroads of the Christian Life.” One of those crossroads was Satisfaction—Giving Thanks. I thought perhaps the following thoughts from the sermon would be an encouragement:

Be Thankful

11/18/2024

 
by Candace
from Virtuous Daughters, September 2008~Volume 8, Number 6

First, let us consider who should be thankful. We all should! We do not deserve any benefits from God. We deserve punishment for our rebellion against God. Instead of giving us what we deserve, God has shown us mercy and given us time in which to repent. He gave His own Son to take our punishment! All that we receive from God is a result of His goodness, not of any merit of our own.
