• “We are women, and my plea is Let me be a woman, holy through and through, asking for nothing but what God wants to give me, receiving with both hands and with all my heart whatever that is.” – Elisabeth Elliot

Why Was I Created a Woman? by Nancy Leigh DeMoss 07/01/11

Nancy Leigh DeMoss: Why were you created as a woman?

“Uhh . . . to bring home the bacon?!” (laughter)

“It was just chance, I guess.”

“So I could turn some heads!”

Nancy: Do you know that the Bible has a lot to say about why women were created?

“The LORD God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him’” (Gen. 2:18).

Nancy: Are you willing to sacrifice your own ambitions to fulfill your role as a helper to your husband?

“For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; neither was man created for woman, but woman for man” (1 Cor. 11:8-9).

Nancy: Is your life helping and blessing the men around you?

“The woman is the glory of man” (1 Cor. 11:7).

Nancy: Why were you created as a woman? As you read God’s Word, ask Him to show you His purpose for your life. Then ask Him to help you fulfill that purpose.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy Leigh DeMoss.

  • “I think of the love of God as a great river, pouring through us even as the waters pour through our ravine at floodtime. Nothing can keep this love from pouring through us, except of course our own blocking of the river. Do you sometimes feel that you have got to the end of your love for someone who refuses and repulses you? Such a thought is folly, for one cannot come to the end of what one has not got. We have no store of love at all. We are not jugs, we are riverbeds.” – Amy Carmichael
