40 Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.
These 2 verses actually stood out to me yesterday, but I wanted to give it some time to see what the Spirit really wanted to say in regards to these verses mentioning the women who also followed Jesus.
The only thing that stood out is: AS WOMEN, LET'S CARE FOR JESUS' NEEDS.
Let's stop placing concerns of who we're going to marry; how fat we are or how skinny we want to be; who is talking about us; everyone's business; how we can beat men; how we don't need men; on the latest fashions and keeping up with celebrities; how we can stay younger than our children; how we can be better than (whoever); and whatever other concern we place before God. Let's be like these women, who sold and gave up everything to follow Jesus and care for His needs. Caring for His needs today, would be doing what He tells us to do.
John 14:15 "If you love me, you will obey what I command."
They knew without a doubt Jesus comes first in our lives. Do you?
AND MEN!!! Start treating women as God would honor. I know, I know... some of us display actions that you deem don't deserve honor. But what if God thought that way, where would you be?

WOMEN ARE WONDERFUL, WE'RE BETTER TOGETHER, AND WE HAVE GREAT PURPOSE IN HIS KINGDOM.
Don't allow people to define you; allow Jesus to transform you into the wonderful child of God that YOU are! Amen!
