Embracing Your Role as an Ambassador of Christ

Fashion is one of my favorite things! From dressing up for a business meeting, shopping with friends, looking at inspo outfits on Pinterest, or watching influencers on social media teaching me the latest trends, I just love it! So, you can imagine what it was like for me when I found out the Bible talked about being Ambassadors of Christ.

Challenge accepted—I will show up well and in absolute style!

But of course, as I grew in my relationship with Jesus, I began to understand that it was a whole lot more than just what I was wearing.

One of the greatest privileges we have is to serve as ambassadors of Christ, representing His love, grace, and truth to the world around us. Just as diplomats represent their countries in unfamiliar places, we are called to represent the kingdom of God in a world that often feels scary or unfamiliar.

Think about this:

Being an ambassador of Christ as a woman carries unique significance and opportunity. In a world where our voices can sometimes be overshadowed, being an ambassador of Christ empowers us to rise above worldly limitations and walk in authority. I like that!

Being an ambassador means we have the great honor and responsibility to build bridges. To create spaces where people feel valued, and loved.

And to be honest, it’s often in the quiet moments and the mundane of everyday life – that we most effectively represent Christ to those around us just by listening or encouraging. Whether in our homes, workplaces, or communities, we have the opportunity to represent Jesus more often than we think.

So, ladies, I want to encourage you today to walk boldly knowing that the Holy Spirit goes before you and equips you for every good work He has called us to do no matter where we are.

Even in the unfamiliar!

And remember, you can also show up well in your favorite Pinterest outfit, too! (Wink-wink)
