Growing up as a female in the U.S., you learn very quickly that you better look good if you want people to like you. And you better look good like other people think "good" is and not just "good" like you think it is. At least that's what the media says.
And whether you're male or female, you had better be successful too, like other people define success. Because if you're not "successful"... you're a failure. Right?
It's lies like this that I have lived under for most of my life and I'd venture to guess that you have too. Even as a Christian, I never really questioned these fundamental assumptions. But the problem is, that if you don't seem to be beautiful or successful, then where does that leave you?
So, a little while ago God in all His mercy began to take the pretty packaging off of some of these lies I was eating like candy and let me see them for what they were. At that point, I had to ask Him, "Well, I know who the world says I am, but who do You say that I am?" and so I began this project.
I literally went through the Bible (all of the New Testament and parts of the Old) looking for what He said about me as a Christian woman. (Most of these also apply to men.) I then rephrased them so they became statements that I could speak about myself.
This is important because like the Bible says, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (Jn 8:32) And who doesn't want to be set free? But also, because words are very powerful. We've seen their power over all these years as we've dragged around our broken-down self-images. But we also see their beautiful power when God does things like make light by saying "Let there be light." (Gen 1:3)
I hope and pray that this project is a helpful tool for you and that you begin to believe the truth about who you truly are and who you were made to be. Let there be light in your spirit.

independent of woman. For as woman came from man, so also man is born of
woman. But everything comes from God.

things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that
are, so that no one may boast before him.
