As women, homemakers and mothers, there are a lot of lies coming our way. People voice their opinion more often than not, and let’s not forget our enemy that tries to make us believe all sorts of lies about our identity and worth.

So let’s make it our goal to stop listening to these lies and focus on what God says to us and about us. In order to help you, I wanted to discuss some common lies we believe and ways to speak against them when they try to take you down.

Let discuss the 5 lies about women that I think you will hear most often. But there are many more, unfortunately.

Being a homemaker is a waste of time

You will often hear this when you mention you are, or want to be, a homemaker. But how is it possible for people (especially christians) to sY this, when it clearly says in Titus 2 that women need to take good care of their home?

And think about the fact that you are turning your house into a home where your family, your friends and others will find rest, a safe place and can see God’s beauty and provision.

God asks us to be good stewards of our home and our belongings. So if God asks us to do this, how can it ever be a waste of time?!

You are not making a difference

We always hear about having a career and making a difference in the world. But is there anything more important than making a difference in your own family?

They are the ones you have the most influence on. So start by making a difference at home. Who cares about a career when the home is a mess and the family is falling apart?! Know where your priorities are and should be.

You deserve more time to be alone

I often hear women say they deserve time to do things by themselves. And my first respons is always; you don’t deserve anything. Everything you have been given is because of the grace of God. You don’t want the things you truly deserve, trust me..

You can still do things for yourself, of course. But I truly believe our society has put ‘time for yourself’ high on our needs list, but forget that they can just put it in their calendar. Have kids? Teach them what quiet time is, help them to play independently or wake up earlier if you need to.

Motherhood is a burden

This one breaks my heart every single time. Being a mom is such a blessing! These previous children were entrusted into your care by your heavenly Father because He knew what a blessing they would be for you and for the world. So don’t ever think that that is a burden. It is a huge blessing! We have just been conditioned to think they are a burden so we can move along with the whole feminism, career driven society instead of focussing what is truly important.

Women need to be equal to men

This is such a crazy thought to me, but I hear this more and more. Women feel like they need to compete with men. But we don’t. God made men and women very different and that is big blessing. We have very different qualities than men. And instead of trying to become more like men, why not embrace our differences? If we do that, we will see that we need our men for certain things and they need us. And that creates the beautiful dependence on each other and is what makes a marriage so beautiful.
