She Values The Sisterhood She's Been Born Into {Part Two}

{Part Two}

Continuing on from Part One Ps Bobbie talks more about Sisterhood and being covenant sisters.

Covenant Sisters:

4. Desire the best for one another.

To desire the best for one another is a little bit different than just believing in each other. To desire the best for one another is being christ like. Proverbs 31v9 {NIV} 'Open your mouth...' Speak it out. Don't just think it. Encourage others! Intention is wonderful but intention in itself is not noble. It's only when you follow through on intention that is noble. Proverbs 11v14 {The Message} 'Without good direction, people lose their way; the more wise counsel you follow, the better your chances.'

5. Refuse to be difficult.

To refuse to do something is to first recognise it in yourself. Difficult is to be complex, exaggerated or complicated behaviour. It's good to ask yourself from time to time... if you are a bit high maintenance/ difficult or complicated. Who wants to do live with Lil Miss aggro/difficult/complex?? There is a place for misery but it can become tedious, we need to be sensitive to that but for the most part we need to be full of faith and joyful. Difficult team layer usually get overlooked, in the context of a Sport Team. Many are called and few are chosen. Why would that be? Because, you're being difficult! Don't make your misery a lifestyle. 1 Sam 1v2 {NIV} Talks about Peninnah...she taunted Hannah and she was difficult. The bible talks a lot about Hannah,she wasn't difficult.

Proverbs 22v15 {The Message} '...the cure comes through tough minded discipline.'

6. Are not best friend dependant.

We have to learn to draw strength upwards. It shouldn't matter if our bestie isn't there. Friends are GREAT and AWESOME but we should NEEEEEEEEEEEED God not our friends. It's great to have friends that you can draw from but our greatest strength should be drawn from God. Sometimes we can strangle the life out of our friendships cause we don't learn the difference between release and embrace. You can't be jealous of your friends, best friends becoming best friends with others etc... It will stop momentum and ruin what God wants to do.
