Childfree at 40 Yet Not Without Purpose

Описание: In today's episode, I discuss a deeply personal topic about not having children as a 40-year-old woman. Even if this doesn't directly pertain to you, I invite you to tune in; I'm sure we have all felt in some ways that life has not turned out exactly how we envisioned (or maybe we have been thrown some unexpected curve balls). I share some Biblical truth that will hopefully speak to you no matter what season of life you are in -- a reminder that God has a plan for you and is using you right where you are.

Join every day for reading and praying the Bible.

Verses from this episode:
“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” ~ Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭

“being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;” ~ Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬ ‭

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.” ~ Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭8‬-‭9‬ ‭

“For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.” ~ 1 Corinthians‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬

A Message from Melissa:
“Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess.‬ ‭5‬:‭21‬): Study the Scripture for yourself and remember that I am just a person sharing the Gospel. I make mistakes. I don't explain the Word of God in a way that will resonate with everyone. I am not going to get it right all the time, and nor will any teacher, preacher, YouTuber, or pastor. I believe we can learn so much from each other, but no person's teaching can replace getting into the Bible yourself. As Christians let's focus more on the truth that unites us -- that we are saved by grace through faith because of what Christ did for us on the cross -- rather than on the details meant to divide us. Thank you for being here, and thank you for giving me grace.
