“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” (1 Peter 2:9)
Your greatest purpose does not hinge on titles that will one day fade away. The world may suggest that your purpose is tied to what you do – becoming a wife, a mother, a mentor, or a coach. These roles are beautiful and they can glorify God, but they are not the foundation of your identity.
Your worth is rooted solely in being His beloved – fully known, fully loved, and chosen by Him.
Your greatest calling is to glorify Him in all things – through your words, actions, and even in your waiting.
Your greatest purpose is rooted in being known and loved by the Creator of the universe, living daily as His chosen daughter.
“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee.” (Jeremiah 1:5)
This truth holds firm in every season of life, whether you’re single, married, widowed, or waiting.
Your worth is not measured by an answered prayer, a relationship status, or a title. It’s measured by the immeasurable love of Christ, who bore the cross for you.
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
You are His beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made in His image (Psalm 139:14), cherished beyond comprehension. Your past, your scars, and even your future fruit do not define you. Instead, it is His unchanging love and the name He gives you that matter most
…beloved.
“Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not!” (1 John 3:1)
I urge you, dear sister, to take your eyes off what you think is missing and fix them on what you already have – because what you have is everything.
You have been given the greatest gift of all: salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” (Ephesians 2:8)
That dream of marriage, while beautiful, is not the crown of your story, it will never, ever make your testimony any more amazing or complete.
The crown of your story is salvation – the assurance of eternal life, an unshakable identity, and a love that never fades.
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” John 10:28
So before you continue wondering why you haven’t been chosen by a godly man, let your heart rest in this truth: You have already been chosen by Someone far greater.
Take time today to reflect on what He has already given you in Christ. Let His Word remind you of your true identity.
“The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.’ (Jeremiah 31:3)
You are seen. You are known. You are loved – deeply, eternally, and wholly.
And that, sister, is absolutely more than enough.
