Yes, it is true… it’s hard to find sisterhood, yet, sisterhood is biblically essential.

It’s time y’all, it’s time.

The end times are near & in these end times. It is time.

It’s time to start coming together as women.

It’s time to start loving each other as women.

It’s time to stop putting men before the women in our lives.

It’s time to stop distancing from the fellow women in our lives.

It’s time to coddle one another as women.

It’s time to see other women as God sees them.

It’s time to stop all of the sickness that has tainted the female community.

It’s time…

It’s time to stop being jealous of other women.

It’s time to stop assassinating the character of other women (especially an innocent woman that you have no proof to back the tarnishing of her character).

It’s time to stop comparing ourselves or others to other women.

It’s time to stop judging other women.

It’s time to stop gate-keeping other women.

It’s time to stop back-biting other women.

It’s time to stop gaslighting other women.

It’s time to stop hating on other women.

It’s time to stop abandoning other women.

It’s time to stop ignoring other women.

It’s time to stop suppressing and oppressing other women.

It’s time to stop helping the agenda against women.

It’s time to stop letting ourselves be coerced by false mindsets (and/or male mindsets) and false information that incite hatred towards other women.

It’s time to stop putting down other women.

It’s time to stop betraying other women.

It’s time to stop.

Sisterhood is essential. It takes a village.

In a world that hates women, it’s take a village of women to support one single woman.

We all need that sense of sisterhood and sisterly companionship. There are many good women out here who deserve sisterhood and don’t have it, because of their peers being unworthy of true sisterhood.

All of us need love. Sisterhood is about REAL love between women who were not born of the same womb. This energy is essential for us to thrive as women. As a real community of women. Especially a community of real Godly women.

Yet, a lot of us are missing out on sisterhood because a lot of us are undeserving of sisterhood. All these negative behaviors described above (just to name a few) are what makes a woman undeserving of sisterhood. There are so many women of today, that are unworthy of the unconditional love and support of sisterhood.

You wanna know what makes an undeserving woman, deserving of sisterhood?

When that woman starts loving other women as herself.

When that woman starts supporting other women.

When that woman starts trusting other women.

When that woman starts listening to other women.

When that woman starts uplifting other women.

When that woman starts understanding other women.

When that woman starts protecting other women.

When that woman starts defending other women.

When that woman starts speaking well on other women.

When that woman starts acknowledging other women.

When that woman starts accommodating other women.

When that woman starts caring about the feelings and emotions of other women.

When that women starts caring about the wellbeing and success of other women.

When that woman starts thinking for herself.

When that woman starts acting for herself and not for society or human community.

When that woman starts carrying herself how a real woman is supposed to.

Modern Sisterhood

The sisterhood of today is so skewed.. and the pool of which we find sisters of our likeness is shallow.

Many women do not like other women, this climate is at an all time high. Just as insecurity, judgement, and comparison is at an all time high. It seems most interactions with other women are only taking from you instead of adding to you. I’ve endured pain from all angles with interacting with women. It’s important that those of us that are good inside and love our neighbors, be the change we want to see, and treat other women as we want other women to treat us, and create a space where all women who enter that space, are safe.

When you are a righteous woman, it will be harder for you to find friends. God will not let you settle for anything that is less than you.

So many women have fallen into the trap of hatred amongst themselves, even the ones who claim to be of God. So, it will be few and far between that you find… a sister.

In these times, you must pray for proper sisterhood and fellowship, because only God knows the heart of all people and only God can give you someone who truly means you well and fits into the loving peaceful life God had designed for you.

I can’t be the only one struggling to find sisterhood in this cold world. I’m with all my girls who have accepted the life of a loner, because these women of today don’t know how to act or treat anyone & most of them lack the self analysis to know that they are hurting every woman they encounter for no reason at all.

Remember, that real Godly sisters, love and support each other even when it’s inconvenient to, even when supporting them will mean an attack on you, & even when others will judge and hate you for having so much unconditional love and support for someone that they want you to judge and hate so badly…another woman.

“I am not at peace until every woman is at peace, I am not free until every woman is free, I am not safe until every woman is safe.” - Paris Dior

Ladies, keep your head up.

Scriptures That Encourage The Need for Sisterhood:

1 John 4:21

"The one who loves God must also love his brother and sister, in both word and deed"

Romans 10:12

“Love one another with brotherly (or sisterly) affection”

“Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves”

Psalm 133:1

“How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!”

1 Samuel 18:1-3

“After David had finished talking with Saul, Jonathan became one in spirit with David, and he loved him as himself. From that day Saul kept David with him and did not let him return home to his family. And Jonathan made a covenant with David because he loved him as himself."

Acts 16:40

“After Paul and Silas came out of the prison, they went to Lydia’s house, where they met with the brothers and sisters and encouraged them. Then they left.”

Moral: be in holy familial covenant with your brothers and sisters in faith, unify in familial unconditional love and love one another as yourself (learn to love yourself so that you can actually do that) and love your brothers and sisters in the way you speak of them and to them, and in what you do for them, and to them. Love them in word and in deed. Unconditionally. As a brother or sister should love one another.

One love 💕

FROM CHILDREN TO FAMILY MEMBERS

British comedian and atheist Jimmy Carr asks a good question and, since you might be asking the same thing, I appreciate the opportunity to answer, . First of all, as a follower of Jesus of Nazareth (who many people believe is the Son of God), I believe God created every person who ever was, is and will be. So yes, we are His children. But there’s a difference between being His children and…

Love God, and Do Whatever You Please

St. Augustine, one of the most influential theologians in the history of the Church, left us with a profound and often misunderstood quote: “Love God, and do whatever you please.” At first glance, this statement might seem to promote a life of self-indulgence and disregard for God’s commandments. However, when we delve deeper into the context and true meaning behind Augustine’s words, we…

How amazing it must have been to see Him alive. How awesome it must have been to sit next to Him.

He died to save us, and by living, He gave us life anew.
