Legacies are passed from generation to generation, the good and the bad. We may not know where our legacies began, but we can certainly help leave behind lasting positive ones for the generations to come. Women of God have a large impact when it comes to the legacy they leave for their families. Who better to turn to for guidance than the many strong women of the Bible?
Author Jerrylyne Isaac explores the lives of biblical women deeper than ever before in Lady, Your Essence: Legacy Conscious, looking into the “not so thought of” samples from their stories and shedding light on how some of their realities are still playing out among us today. Delving not only into positive character traits, but emotional instabilities, fears, control issues, and dysfunctional backgrounds, as well, the women of God today can leave a lasting legacy by:
Being readily available for everyone like Deborah
Standing up for one’s self like Hannah
Becoming an unexpected leader like Rahab
Protecting and knowing what is best for one’s family like Jochebed
Not allowing internal struggles to create negative influences like Sarah
Displaying authenticity like Esther
And more
“We may not be able to finish it all, but wherever we stop, we will be satisfied enough, trusting that God will continue to use coming generations to do His will.”
