cbr, 2025 #nowplaying - PLACE IN MY MIND (feat. shy martin) - Whethan

Dear sisters in Christ,

Today, I want to speak to you about something that resonates deeply within all of us - the search for our place in this vast, often confusing world. As young women of faith, you might sometimes feel lost, uncertain of where you belong or what your purpose truly is. But I’m here to tell you that there is a special place for each and every one of you in God’s grand design.

Imagine, for a moment, that your mind is a vast landscape. Within it, there are mountains of aspirations, valleys of doubt, rivers of creativity, and forests of memories. In this internal world, there’s a unique spot - a place that’s distinctly yours. It’s where your passions align with your purpose, where your dreams meet reality, and where your faith intertwines with your daily life.

But finding this place isn’t always easy. Sometimes, it feels like we’re wandering in a fog, unable to see the path ahead. We might stumble, we might fall, and there will be times when we feel completely lost. But remember, sisters, that even in those moments of uncertainty, God is with you, guiding your steps, even when you can’t see the way forward.

In our journey to find our place, we often encounter voices that try to define us, to tell us who we should be or what we should do. These voices can be loud and insistent - the expectations of society, the pressures of social media, or even well-meaning advice from friends and family. But I urge you to listen closely to the still, small voice within you - the voice of God whispering His truth into your heart.

This inner voice, this divine guidance, it speaks of a place that’s uniquely yours. It’s not a physical location, but a state of being where you are fully alive in Christ, fully embracing the gifts He has given you. It’s where your talents meet the world’s needs, where your passion ignites positive change, and where your faith shines brightest.

Remember, sisters, that your place in this world isn’t defined by others’ expectations or societal norms. It’s defined by your relationship with God and the unique way He has created you to reflect His love and grace. Your place might be in a bustling city or a quiet village, in a classroom or a boardroom, on a stage or behind the scenes. What matters is not where you are, but how you live out your faith and purpose wherever you find yourself.

As you search for your place, don’t be afraid to explore, to try new things, to step out of your comfort zone. God often leads us on unexpected paths, opening doors we never knew existed. Be open to His leading, even when it doesn’t make sense at first. Trust that He has a plan for you, a plan to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future.

In this journey, remember that you’re not alone. Look around you - you’re surrounded by a sisterhood of believers, each on their own path, but all united in Christ. Support each other, encourage one another, and share your struggles and victories. There’s immense strength in community, in knowing that others are walking alongside you, even when the path seems solitary.

As you continue to seek your place, hold onto hope. Hope is the anchor for our souls, steadfast and sure. It reminds us that even when we can’t see the full picture, God is working all things together for good. Your place in this world is not just about what you do, but about who you become in the process of seeking it.

Embrace the journey, sisters. Every step, every experience, every challenge is shaping you, preparing you for the unique role God has for you. Your place in this world is not just a destination; it’s a calling, a purpose that unfolds day by day as you walk with God.

So, my dear sisters, as you leave this place today, go forth with confidence. Know that you are loved, you are valued, and you have a unique and irreplaceable role in God’s kingdom. Keep seeking, keep growing, and keep your hearts open to God’s leading. Your place in this world is waiting for you to step into it, to embrace it fully, and to shine God’s light brightly through it.

May you find that special place in your mind, in your heart, and in this world where you can be fully and authentically who God created you to be. And may your life be a testament to His grace, His love, and His transformative power.

Amen.
