The Great Thing About Sisterhood

Post by National Trainer Katy Flood...

 

What happens when a Hollywood actress, a few national speakers, writers and bloggers, a drilling engineering tech, a pastor’s wife, a women’s ministry director, a master’s degree student, all travel to the Rocky Mountains to seek God?

 

Amazing things!

 

We came from all over the country with a common passion – post-abortion healing. I only knew three of women when I arrived, and I didn’t even know them all that well. What unfolded was absolutely beautiful and as breath-taking as the mountain views.

 

I am fascinated by the fact that when sisters in Christ get together, there is an instant bond.  It is a bond that defies human logic. Logically, it takes a long time to build a friendship. You don’t share deep, personal stuff with women you just meet. You guard yourself and your thoughts until you know someone better. But every time I get together with sisters in Christ, we let our walls down and we take off our masks. Only Christ has the ability to pull that off – to gather a bunch of women, plop them in a mountain home and watch as they share, cry and worship Him – all as sisters.

 

In John Chapter 17, Jesus is talking to His Father and saying “that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” (John 17:23 ESV)

 

Jesus says it in more detail in The Message. “So they might be one heart and mind with us.  Then the world might believe that you, in fact, sent me…So they’ll be unified and together as we are- I in them and you in me.  Then they’ll be mature in this oneness, and give the godless world evidence that you’ve sent me and love them in the same way you’ve loved me.”

 

 

It is Jesus’ desire that we become one. That we bond.  That we are unified.  Because when we are unified, that is when we show the world that there is a God and He sent His son to die for us.

Unity is so important in the body of Christ.  It is our unity, our love for each other, that causes people to see Jesus.

 

I don’t know about you, but I want people to see Jesus.  I want people to see something different in me.  And I want that difference to point them right to Him.

 

I know that our Father was pleased with what He saw this past week in that mountain home.  Nine sisters, with one purpose:  to glorify God with our lives.  Our common denominator wasn’t that we all had abortions in our past, because some of us hadn’t.  Our common denominator was that we all were women who have been rescued and restored by the One who came to seek and save the lost.

 

Lost women now found.  One in Christ.  Sisters forever.  Beautiful.
